Details:

Knowledge of the genetic basis of existence has meant 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 the activity of genes is modulated to change the fate of the cells that form Our organism. With this knowledge, called epigenetics, an era is inaugurated that offers us new tools to understand, predict and even reverse diseases in a way that we could not imagine. Epigenetics opens the door to precision and personalized medicine, one of the last biomedical frontiers.
