Genomic perspectives on epigenetics.

Abstract excerpt

For much of the twentieth century, it was accepted that genes dictate phenotypes. Nevertheless, genetics in combination with molecular biology and genomics has facilitated the explanation of some peculiar molecular phenomena. Most eukaryotic genomes are crammed with noncoding DNA, which was previously hypothesized to be selfish DNA, with only a small fraction of sequences encoding proteins. We now know that the...
