Demystifying Genetics - Part 4 - Epigenetics: Epigenetic Regulation Epimutation & Genomic Imprinting

We will be going through the following topics, firstly the basics of epigenetics i.e. Gene Expression and Gene Regulation. Then we will go through mechanisms for epigenetic regulation. Next We will talk about epimutation and epigenetic disorders. And lastly discuss factors influencing our epigenome.
How can the same genetic material in all cells manifest in approximately 200 different cell types ?
We cover three major mechanisms of Epigenetic Regulation:
DNA Methylation
Histone Tail Modification
non coding RNA based mechanism
We cover Histone acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation and ubiquitination.
Difference between mutation and epimutation
We next see epigenetic disorders.
What is genomic imprinting
What is DMR or Differentially Methylated Regions on gene
Difference between monoallelic and biallelic expression of gene
What are genomic imprinting disorders
Angelman syndrome and Prader Willi syndrome explained.
Factors influencing our epigenome
So please remember that choices that we make today may have epigenetic influence on our Future Progeny.
So …………….. Make your choices wisely.
