Topic 5: Epigenetics Assay
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
- Know different types of epigenetic assays.
- Know how different epigenetic assays are used when cells are exposed to toxicants or mutagens.
The aim of epigenetic assay is to determine whether any chemicals or drugs will cause any toxic effect or load on the genome which do not involve a change in the nucleotide sequence.
Followings are the different types of Epigenetic assays:
