    This is the clearest explanation of epigenetics I've seen yet! Thanks for making it
  • @donross7820
    Excellent, didactic presentation! Thank you
  • @medichain
    Thank you for this wonderful animation. It makes the concept of gene expression or suppression much beter to understand.
  • @zverh
    Very well described. Thanks alot.
  • @amitgangwani2302
    Really well explained. I just wanted to ask, if acetylation positively charges and DNA is negatively charged, shouldn't the structure become tighter?
  • @garr2991
    Does anybody know where the second part to this video is?
  • @Gionei1000
    Please! the histone methylation and DNA methylation occur together or separately in epigenetics?
  • @michaellouis4882
    What do you mean at the acetylation part? It stated that when acetylation takes place, it reduces the positive charge of histone tail hence, repels the DNA negative charge. How can that be? Isn't it unlikely to repel if it less positive? And ain't repulsion of the negative charge DNA strand only happen when the positive charge is stronger? Any clarification on this? Thanks in advance.
