Epigenetics and Disease
Niki discusses the significance of epigenetics in understanding disease, emphasizing how environmental factors can influence gene expression. She highlights the limitations of relying solely on genomic sequencing, pointing out that even genetically identical twins can exhibit different health outcomes due to epigenetic modifications. Additionally, she explains the role of RNA in gene regulation and its importance in developing personalized medicine strategies.In this clip
