Details:

Knowledge of the genetic basis of existence has brought about a great change in our conception of life and disease. But in recent decades, studies on a series of reversible modifications in the structure of the genome and the molecules that accompany it have made it possible to explain how gene activity is modulated to change the destiny of the cells that make up our organism. With this knowledge, called epigenetics, an era has begun that offers us new tools to understand, predict and even reverse diseases in ways we could not have imagined. Epigenetics opens the door to precision and personalized medicine, one of the last biomedical frontiers.
