An overview of epigenetic mechanisms including chromatin modifications, DNA methylation, and ncRNA interactions. Chromatin is made of DNA, histone proteins, and nucleosomes and regulates gene expression by controlling the access of transcription factors to DNA. DNA methylation creates a physical barrier that generally impedes transcription factor binding. Noncoding RNA interacts with chromatin and modifies domains.
