Epigenetics in Benidorm
The term epigenetics was coined by Scottish geneticist Conrad Hal Waddington in 1942 to refer to the study of the interplay between genes and the environment.
Epigenetic Analysis in Benidorm
Genes determining heredity only constitute a small portion of the genome, from 1 to 2%; the rest is composed of intergenic regions that do not code for proteins. DNA testing is performed once in a lifetime and provides precise yet static information, as the genome remains unchanged.
However, we have come to understand that our actions throughout life can affect us and potentially impact our descendants. This is achieved through epigenetics, an additional system of genetic control that changes over the course of our lives. Epigenetics can be defined as the branch of science that studies changes occurring in DNA without altering the DNA sequence. In other words, it examines processes that modify DNA, its function, and its expression, as long as these changes do not affect the encoded “message” within the DNA’s base pairs. Epigenetics investigates various factors that don’t directly modify genes but influence the way they should be expressed.

Discover what epigenetics can do for your health.
Epigenetics, therefore, explains how the environment we provide to our cells can alter genetic activity without interfering with the DNA sequence. Epigenetics is significant because it can influence the development, health, and diseases of organisms, and it can even be passed down to future generations. Epigenetics can also assist in the prevention and treatment of certain illnesses through gene modulation. Over time, it has become evident that epigenetic processes are linked to various diseases such as cancer, Prader-Willi syndrome, diabetes, or even psychological disorders like depression, anxiety, or insomnia.
Epigenetic analyses can be conducted today, and the information we can derive from them can open many doors, particularly in the field of health.
Epigenetics is currently being studied in relation to areas such as:
– Mechanisms of aging
– Cancer
– Psychiatric disorders
– Evolution and species adaptation
– Allergies
– Degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s
– Cardiovascular diseases
