How Does Double-Stranded DNA Relate to Epigenetics?
Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in gene expression that do not involve alterations in the DNA sequence itself. In histology, the study of epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation and histone modification, is essential for understanding the regulation of gene expression in different tissues. These modifications can affect chromatin structure and accessibility of dsDNA, influencing cellular differentiation and development.
