 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
Article Draft
[edit]Lead-
[edit]I didn't really see a way to add anything useful here that wouldn't make it too long.
Article body
[edit]Added sentence explaining histone modification. Histone modification changes the way that DNA is packaged into chromosomes. These changes impact how genes are expressed. [1]
Could add more on cognition and what research has been done on how epigenetic changes impact aging brains.
Looking for more research on how it effects obesity to stretch that section out.
