  • You know all about how DNA bases can code for an organism's traits, but did you know there's more influencing phenotype than just the bases? Explore epigenetics with the Amoeba Sisters by learning about a few types of epigenetic marks and some examples of them in action.

    FURTHER READING SUGGESTIONS:
    This website is phenomenal for learning about epigenetics, and it was recommended in Pinky’s graduate course.

    More about histones?

    Why did we write the words “some exceptions” when mentioning that methyl groups generally prevent transcription? More info: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
    We mention these are only some examples of epigenetic marks. What others exist? Check out this further reading which mentions Micro-RNAs.

    What do we mean about epigenetic tags being “cleared?” Two great further readings:

    @osliec Před 3 lety +3

    Excellent videos!! I have used quite a few of them as teaching basis and will not hesitate to do it again! Just like many high-school curiculae, you are often focused on human physiology and related subjects, which is perfectly understandable. Sometimes you also venture into evolutionary biology, which is really great! But if you want to go a bit beyond, I would suggest that you dive into invertebrates (keep off the boring insects!)... -there are so many different subjects to look into while trying to step away from the (somewhat limiting) "human" perspektive. Lots of subjets to look into, morphology, reproduction, development, parasitism, feeding biology etc etc... -best wishes from Denmark

    I go to a biotechnological high school and we dive much deeper in detail. Your videos are great tho to revise the topics and kept simple at the same time so if one didn't have time to revise the stuff with all the biochemical mechanisms he can still get an idea of what is happening. Thus, not left clueless in class :)
    Love you both ❤

    Excellent presentation..... a little too fast but excellent. When I was a pre dental student the the University of South Florida ( 1965-1969 ) we had an excellent biology teacher ( Dr. Jerome Krivanick ). Through his lectures I acquired a lifelong interest in biology. Epigenetics was in it's primitive state at this time but just when you think you know it all things change and our minds expand.
