General Information

Term

positive regulation of gene expression, epigenetic

ID (Ontology)

GO:0141137 (Gene Ontology)

Definition

An epigenetic process that increases gene expression at specific genomic regions through chromatin remodeling either by modifying higher order chromatin fiber structure, nucleosomal histones, or the cytosine DNA demethylation.[ PubMed:36618446 ]

Also Known As

"activation of gene expression, epigenetic" ; "up regulation of gene expression, epigenetic" ; "up-regulation of gene expression, epigenetic" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
