INSIGHT

Genetics vs. Epigenetics

  • Genetic material is static, inherited from parents, and doesn't change.
  • Epigenetics, the "above the gene" layer, regulates gene expression, acting like punctuation for DNA.
INSIGHT

Methylation's Role

  • Methylation, a crucial epigenetic mechanism, acts as punctuation for DNA, guiding gene expression.
  • It directs cell differentiation and function, signaling whether a cell is an eye, heart, or skin cell.
INSIGHT

Aging and Methylation

  • Aging disrupts methylation patterns, like distorted punctuation, affecting gene expression.
  • This "wonky" methylation contributes to age-related diseases, possibly as a programmed aging process.
