Ethics watch: ETHICAL IMPLICATIONS OF EPIGENETICS RESEARCH

2009-04-01

Abstract excerpt

New advances in epigenetics research are being reported at an accelerating rate. Intriguing research findings, primarily from animal studies, show that epigenetic changes tend to occur at a much higher frequency than mutations in DNA sequence, that the susceptibility to epigenetic changes is greater at earlier stages of development, and that epigenetic changes are often reversible1,2. Importantly, a growing body o...
