Just went to the library, borrowed a book called Human Molecular Genetics 3 by Strachan and Read, printed out 2 scientific journal on DNA methylation, histone modifications and epigenetics reprogramming. I feel like a student all over again. Hahaha.. and of course i need to make sense out of all these too!
Yes i should be studying now... but you know... you get distracted and all. You must be wondering why I need to study again.. shouldn't i know all of it well enough? The fact is that because it is such a complex matter that too little has been discovered, we did not get to cover much of it during my uni years. Not that much more had been discovered since, but there were some significant discoveries that worth looking into and hence what i am doing now.
Actually the question to this madness is very simple. it is simply. " There are many different cell types in our body all with specific role and function, yet every one of these cells contain exactly the same DNA. How come?" You think you know the answer?
I need to study now... hmmm
