Descriptor epigénesis genética
Entry term(s) procesos epigenéticos
Scope note: Proceso genético por el que el organismo adulto realiza mecanismos que le conduce a la restricción de posibles destinos celulares, eventualmente a su estado diferenciado. Los mecanismos involucrados provocan cambios heredables en las células sin cambios en la secuencia del ADN como la METILACIÓN DE ADN, modificación de HISTONA, CRONOLOGÍA DE LA REPLICACIÓN DE ADN, posición del NUCLEOSOMA y heterocromatización , resultando en una expresión o represión génica selectiva.

Scope note: A genetic process by which the adult organism is realized via mechanisms that lead to the restriction in the possible fates of cells, eventually leading to their differentiated state. Mechanisms involved cause heritable changes to cells without changes to DNA sequence such as DNA METHYLATION; HISTONE modification; DNA REPLICATION TIMING; NUCLEOSOME positioning; and heterochromatization which result in selective gene expression or repression.
