Summary Introduction
To review:
The way epigenetic changes may be targeted to specific genes.
Introduction:
Epigenetics is the process of changing gene sequences and expressions which, are passed from the parent to the offspring. There are different target genes which, are needed for the cells to undergo genetic changes. The genes that help epigenetics to occur are different than the normally used genes. RNAs (ribonucleic acid) are also used to get the epigenetics effect to be observable on the genes.
