RE: > epigenetic upregulation of resistance genes EPIGENETICS has become one of the buzz words of biology in recent years. Following the success of genome projects in defining what genomes are, the emphasis has shifted to what they do, and there is renewed interest in understanding the epigenetic processes of development. The term “epigenetics,” however, has undergone many transformations since its original definition by Waddington reflecting the changing foci of research in developmental molecular biology since the second half of the 20th century ... “Epigenetics” is therefore often employed loosely and inconsistently ... from TRANSGENERATIONAL EPIGENETIC INHERITANCE: PREVALENCE, MECHANISMS, AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE STUDY OF HEREDITY AND EVOLUTION by Eva Jablonka *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
