Comparative Epigenetics

Comparative Epigenetics is a subfield of genetics that systematically examines the similarities and differences in epigenetic modifications—such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA expression—across species, populations, or cell types to elucidate evolutionary relationships, regulatory mechanisms, and functional impacts on gene expression.
