General Information
Term epigenetic regulation of gene expression ID (Ontology) GO:0040029 (Gene Ontology)
Definition A process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of gene expression through chromatin remodeling either by modifying higher order chromatin fiber structure, nucleosomal histones, or cytosine methylation of DNA. Once established, this regulation may be maintained over many cell divisions. It can also be heritable in the absence of the instigating signal.[ PubMed:10521337 PubMed:11498582 PubMed:22243696 PubMed:34414474 ]
Also Known As "regulation of gene expression, epigenetic"
