Linking the Epigenome with Exposure Effects and Susceptibility: The Epigenetic Seed and Soil Model.

Abstract excerpt

The epigenome is a dynamic mediator of gene expression that shapes the way that cells, tissues, and organisms respond to their environment. Initial studies in the emerging field of "toxicoepigenetics" have described either the impact of an environmental exposure on the epigenome or the association of epigenetic signatures with the onset or progression of disease; however, the majority of these pioneering studies...
