The term epigenetics refers to the study of heritable changes in gene function that occur without alterations in the DNA sequence itself. Unlike genetic mutations, which modify the nucleotide code, epigenetic mechanisms influence how genes are expressed—essentially turning them “on” or “off” in response to developmental …

The regulation of gene expression is a cornerstone of molecular biology, determining how cells function, differentiate, and respond to environmental cues. One of the most crucial epigenetic mechanisms governing gene activity is histone modification. Histones are the structural proteins around which DNA is wrapped to form …
