Epigenetics Research Paper

TOPIC- Epigenetics: Discuss your understanding of epigenetics based on your research (see item 1 below): What is the relationship between epigenetics and physical and mental health? What have you learned in the epigenetics video and how will this information change your lifestyle? Be specific about the changes you will make.

1. Research and locate one article on epigenetics from a reputable academic source (journal articles are reputable sources, as are some government publications based on research such as the National Institute of Health; Wikipedia is NOT a reputable source) through the College Library (log in with your MDC ID number. Your pin number is the last four digits of your MDC ID unless you have changed it). Sample of reputable sources:

• • Epigenetics: Read the “Genetics and an Epigenetic Understanding” section. Source: Berger, K.S. (2010) Invitation to the Life Span, Worth Publishers, pp.12-13. See next document located below in blackboard.
  • University of Utah Genetic Science- http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/epigenetics…
  • NIH-National Human Genome Research Institute- https://www.genome.gov/27532724#al-4
  • 2- Read the epigenetics article you find. Begin your paper by defining epigenetics and continue your paper with a discussion of the epigenetics article. Be sure to paraphrase (put things in your own words) and be sure to cite the author(s) of the article you find using APA style. The paper must have at least one reference to a scholarly source cited in the body of the essay and added to the reference list at the end.

See the file with the screen shots for “log-in” in the assignment folder located in the LESSONS tab. Once in the Film-on-Demand website, search for each video by using the “Item Number”:
