This lesson will provide information about an epigenome, consists of chemical compounds that modify or mark the genome in a way that tells it what to do, where to do it, and when to do it. Explains the structure of an epigenome, discusses about the different epigenetic mechanisms.

In this lesson, we will introduce nutritional epigenomics as well as the concept of epigenetic programming, the different epigenetic regulators, such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and RNA-based modifications, and how diet can affect the epigenome through these mechanisms.

This lesson will help you to connect the dots between nutrients and its influence on various epigenetic mechanisms. The role of these nutrients on various enzymes involved in different epigenetic mechanisms.
