How is the information contained in our genes read, memorized and interpreted?
What mechanisms control gene expression in an individual or across
generations? The understanding of these mechanisms is crucial to knowledge on
life forms. Epigenetics studies the influence of a genome’s cellular history
on the way in which it is read. Since the sequencing of the complete human
genome in the early twenty-first century, epigenetics has also given rise to
the hope that we are “more” than the sequencing of our genes. This is probably
why there is currently a huge upsurge of interest in this discipline.
