AN ECORESPONSIBILITY FOR HUMAN GENOME





AN ECORESPONSIBILITY FOR HUMAN GENOME





A  BRIEF INQUIRY INTO OUR RESPOSIBILITY TO   CREATE  AN  EPIGENETIC ENVIRONMENT


We come to know that it is not just the atomic radiation that makes changes in the genome but the elements in the very air that we breathe can affect the expression or repression of our genes and it can eventually be passed on to next generations. One of the fastest advancing areas of research in toxicological sciences is the study of epigenetic pathways that are involved in chemical-induced alterations in the development and function of biological systems. So along with studying what is Epigenetics and varied environmental influence on our epigenome this is an attempt also to reflect  what is our responsibility individually and collectively not only to our own genes- or our own  generation but to the generations to come.(Click on the title or the picture to go to the article)
