Epigenetics Provides the Bookmarks in the Form of Chemical Modifications (IMAGE)
Caption
Similar to how bookmarks help you find pages you wish to read and which to skip, organisms also do not need to read all the information present on their DNA at any given time. Epigenetics provides the bookmarks in the form of chemical modifications on DNA bounded proteins called histones. Chemical modifications show which parts of the DNA to express and which to skip. This study discovered the proteins that interact to one of these chemical modifications that controls the time of flowering.
