Epigenetics: A Molecular Link Between Environmental Factors and Type 2 Diabetes (2009, background): “Although there is no uniform definition of epigenetics, it has been described as heritable changes in gene function that occur without a change in the nucleotide sequence (6).”
Epigenetics for ecologists. (2007, background): “Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression and function that cannot be explained by changes in DNA sequence (Richards 2006; Bird 2007).”
DNA methylation landscapes: provocative insights from epigenomics (2008, background): “This epigenetic information is not uniform, but is applied regionally, and it signals or preserves local activity states, such as gene transcription or silencin”
Epigenetic regulation of neurogenesis in the adult mammalian brain (2011, background): “Epigenetics can be loosely defined as heritable changes in the function of genetic elements without changes in the actual genetic or underlying DNA sequence (Bird, 2007).”
Targeting epigenetic regulators for cancer therapy: mechanisms and advances in clinical trials (2019, background): “This phenomenon covers a wide range of cellular activities, such as cell growth, differentiation, and disease development, and is heritable.(3) Generally, epigenetic events involve DNA methylation, histone modification, the readout of these modifications, chromatin remodeling and the effects of nonc”
Experimental alteration of DNA methylation affects the phenotypic plasticity of ecologically relevant traits in Arabidopsis thaliana (2010, background): “The term epigenetics generally refers to a set of molecular processes, including DNA methylation, histone modification, and RNA interference, that can alter gene function and, ultimately, the phenotype without changes in DNA sequence (Grant-Downton and Dickinson 2005; Berger 2007; Bird 2007 ).”
Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance: myths and mechanisms (2014, neutral): “Although more recent definitions range from the structural adaptation of chromosomal regions so as to register, signal, or perpetuate altered activity states (Bird, 2007), to environmental influences on gene expression and chromatin, here we employ the term in the more conservative sense that concer”
Integrative Analysis of Multi-omics Data for Discovery and Functional Studies of Complex Human Diseases (2016, background): “Epigenetics usually refers to the heritable molecular modifications that have effects independent of the primary DNA sequence that can be modified by environmental exposures at various developmental stages throughout the lifespan (Bird, 2007; Foley et al.).”
A taxonomy of biological information (2010, background): “Epigenetics is an important process of gene expression during development that can profoundly affect the phenotype (Richards 2006, Bird 2007, Reik 2007, Bossdorf et al. 2008, Champagne 2008) and is thus a form of biological information.”
