Introduction to MC4-R and Epigenetics The study of genetics has traditionally focused on the linear sequence of DNA; however, the field of epigenetics investigates the heritable changes in gene function that occur without alteration of the primary DNA sequence. These modifications are crucial for cellular differentiation, tissue specificity, and environmental adaptation, yet their dysregulation is […]
