Epigenetics Impact Factor

Epigenetic changes alter the physical structure of DNA. One example of an epigenetic change is DNA methylation — the addition of a methyl , or a "chemical cap," to a part of the DNA molecule, which prevents certain genes from being expressed. Another example is histone modification. Histones are proteins that DNA wraps around. (Without histones, DNA would be too long to fit inside cells.) If histones squeeze DNA tightly, the DNA cannot be "read" by the cell. Variations that relax the histones can make a DNA accessible to proteins that "read" genes. Impact Factors are wont to measure the importance of a journal by calculating the amount of times selected articles are cited within the previous couple of years.
