Full Description

This exam centers on the topic of epigenetic modifications and their significant roles in gene expression regulation. Key focus will be on DNA methylation, histone modifications, and their biochemical impacts.

The importance of epigenetics lies in its implications for inheritance and the adaptation of organisms to environmental changes. Understanding these modifications provides insights into complex disease mechanisms and developmental processes.

Candidates will be evaluated based on their ability to articulate the mechanisms by which epigenetic modifications influence gene expression and the broader implications for health and disease.

Additionally, discussions may encompass recent advancements in epigenetic research, including potential therapeutic approaches targeting epigenetic pathways.

Sample Questions

  • What are the main types of epigenetic modifications and their mechanisms?
  • How do epigenetic changes influence gene expression patterns in different tissues?
