Abstract excerpt
Epigenetics refers to functionally relevant genomic changes that do not involve changes in the basic nucleotide sequence. Majorly, these are of two types: DNA methylation and histone modifications. Small RNA molecules called miRNAs are often thought to mediate post-transcriptional epigenetic changes by mRNA degradation or translational attenuation. While DNA methylation and histone modifications have their own...
