Epigenomics and the concept of degeneracy in biological systems.

Briefings in functional genomics - 1 May 2014

Maleszka Ryszard, Mason Paul H, Barron Andrew B

Abstract excerpt

Researchers in the field of epigenomics are developing more nuanced understandings of biological complexity, and exploring the multiple pathways that lead to phenotypic expression. The concept of degeneracy-referring to the multiple pathways that a system recruits to achieve functional plasticity-is an important conceptual accompaniment to the growing body of knowledge in epigenomics. Distinct from degradation,...
