Abstract
Transgenerational health effects have been reported for many environmental chemical exposures. In order to explain many unanswered questions, researchers have made significant efforts looking for something beyond genetics, call “epigenetics”. This chapter introduce the concept of epigenetics and many different forms of epigenetics modifications. Potential application of epigenetics in health research and complex disease treatment is explored. Highlights of chapters in this book are also summarized.
