Our next experiments will look more closely at
epigenetic modifications within the thermogenesis signaling pathway so that we may manipulate it,» said Sakai.

The Sarma laboratory is interested in the mechanisms of
epigenetic gene regulation, or how the dynamic
modifications of the architecture of chromatin, the complex of DNA and proteins
within the nucleus of our cells, impacts gene expression and cellular function.
We found that genes
within islands of differentiation were enriched for several functional classes (Table S4), and most terms were related to transcription and
epigenetic pathways (e.g. chromatin organization and
modification, regulation of transcription and translation, DNA binding).
Epigenetics are
modifications on top of the DNA sequences and regulate expression of the DNA
within each cell of the body as required for normal development and functioning.
