Epigenome Innovation
Epigenome innovation focuses on processes that regulate how and when certain genes are turned on and turned off while
epigenomics is about analyzing epigenetic changes in a cell or whole organism across many genes. ... The epigenome can mark DNA in two ways, both of which play a role in turning genes off or on. Plants are sessile organisms which have to adapt constantly to their climate. Unlike animals,
plant development is largely post-embryonic, and is characterized by continuous growth and substantial phenotypic plasticity. Chromatin-level regulation of transcriptional patterns plays a central role in
plant adaptability to internal and external indications. Epigenetics has influenced
evolution and the complex role between epigenetics and the
environment has been demonstrated by epigenetic epidemiology. Finally , a number of human diseases such as cancer,
brain disorders and metabolic syndromes have been linked to aberrations in epigenetic processes which now open up a new field of advances in epigenetic therapy.
