Integrating early life experience, gene expression, brain development, and emergent phenotypes: unraveling the thread of nature via nurture.

Abstract excerpt

Adaptation to environmental changes is based on the perpetual generation of new phenotypes. Modern biology has focused on the role of epigenetic mechanisms in facilitating the adaptation of organisms to changing environments through alterations in gene expression. Inherited and/or acquired epigenetic factors are relatively stable and have regulatory roles in numerous genomic activities that translate into...
