epigenetic

help
In biology, the term epigenetics refers to heritable changes in phenotype (appearance) or gene expression caused by mechanisms other than changes in the underlying DNA sequence (hence the name epi - "in addition to" - genetics). These changes may remain through cell divisions for the remainder of the cell's life and may also last for multiple generations. However, there is no change in the... Read enhanced Wikipedia article

    Epigenetics

    A simplified stochastic model for this type of epigenetics is found here . ... Many teratogens exert specific effects on the fetus by epigenetic mechanisms.

    Epigenetic code

    The epigenetic code is hypothesized to be a defining code in every eukaryotic cell consisting of the specific epigenetic modification in each cell. It consists of histone modifications defined by the histone code and additional epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation.

    Epigenetic landscape

    Epigenetic landscape is a metaphor for biological development. Its originator, Conrad Hal Waddington, said that cell fates were established in development much like a marble rolls down to the point of lowest local elevation.

    Epigenetic Theory

    Not to be confused with Epigenetics, which refers to partially heritable biological changes affecting gene expression, or with Epigenesis (biology), which is a widely accepted theory of cell differentiation for multicellular organisms.

    For example, in major psychosis, this is seen as fading psychopathology or even partial recovery which is consistent with age dependent epigenetic changes in the genome.
