Epigenetic inheritance describes the maintenance or transmission of gene-regulatory information without changing the DNA sequence. Learn about DNA methylation, histone modifications, genomic imprinting, X-chromosome inactivation, epigenetic reprogramming, and disease.
X-chromosome inactivation is an epigenetic process that regulates X-linked gene dosage by silencing much of one X chromosome. Learn about XIST, XCI mechanisms, Barr bodies, escape genes, skewed XCI, mosaicism, and genetic disorders.
