I have been studying the field of epigenetics for about ten years or so now? Something like that. Since the field of genetics has been a personal interest of mine for decades. But I only relatively recently became of aware of modern epigenetics and began studying it in depth.
I see it as being directly related (as a manipulation mechanism) to my theory of the Renaissance Man and the polymath.
Anyway I thought this was a rather good but very basic summary of some of the recent research advances and studies in the field.
This image shows inheritance and transmission of the epigenetic mark H3K27me3 in C. elegans.
The 1-cell embryo (left) shows the mark (green) inherited on sperm
chromosomes but not on the oocyte chromosomes (pink) contributed by a
mutant mother lacking the methylation enzyme PRC2. The 2-cell embryo
(right) shows transmission of the mark on the sperm-derived chromosomes
in each daughter nucleus. Credit: Laura J. Gaydos
A growing body of evidence suggests that environmental stresses can
cause changes in gene expression that are transmitted from parents to
their offspring, making "epigenetics" a hot topic. Epigenetic
modifications do not affect the DNA sequence of genes, but change how
the DNA is packaged and how genes are expressed. Now, a study by
scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, shows how
epigenetic memory can be passed across generations and from cell to cell
during development...

The Missal is my personal Blog. It covers a wide range of materials and matters including, but not limited to:
Politics, Personal Hobbies, Criminal Affairs, Vadding, Local, State,
National, and International Affairs, Humor, Opinions and Editorials, Writings, Inventions, Science, Art, Religion, Technology, Theory Pieces, Reviews,
Criticisms, Military and Intelligence Matters,
and various other subjects. Feel free to read, comment, or contact me if you wish. The Missal is also the Gateway to all of my other Blogs, Websites, Portfolios, and Newsletters which comprise my public presence on the web. Please see my Personal Links Section below. Unless otherwise noted all Blog content on the Missal is copyrighted by me and is my work.
However any articles, entries, or posts made by guests or other contributors to the Missal are to be considered entirely their own work and protected by their personal copyright. Posts made by other contributors or guests may not necessarily reflect an opinon in accord with my own nevertheless I reserve the right to violently agree with them if need be.
Above the Reader can discover a link for a website or blog which I highly recommend as being thought provoking, very well written or constructed, content rich, pleasing, agreeable, worth inspecting, fascinating, extremely entertaining, or in some way productive and useful.
These sites are my Recommendations. I visit many of these recommended websites and blogs often, or am even in some cases subscribed to their Syndicated Content. I may not agree with everything espoused on these various sites, but I find each valuable and worth reading. Recommendations are rotated once every two week.
Also, immediately above this section the reader can find a Pollwhich will periodically be displayed on this website.
As a Reader or Visitor feel free to give your opinion on whatever poll interests you. There will also almost always be a section marked Otherin which you can write in your own opinion regarding the subject matter of that poll. Polls will be run an average of once per month. Then a new poll will be cycled in to replace the old poll. Polls can be on any matter but will definitely periodically include the following subjects; politics, religion, art, science, the military, intelligence matters, criminal affairs, technology, domestic affairs, international affairs, the media, psychology, and culture. Readers are also encouraged to suggest subject content, as well as questions pertaining to that subject content, for inclusion in future polls.
