so what are the guidelines of feeding if you are looking for epigenetics modifications only not the trasgenerational epigenetics. It is serious issue before beginning work on epigenetics? is there any guidelines for this or we can go with regular feeding only
Dear Kumar,
Hi! The short answer to your question is "Yes, the composition of the diet of your experimental animals surely has an impact on the epigenetics of these animals." But the harder to answer question follows: "Then, are these effects clarified or predictable for any given laboratory animal and/or for any given type of diet"? Regrettably, this question is hard to answer and you may need a lot of literature research (if you are lucky enough to find a previous research which shed light to your question) or you may have to design and perform a pioneering study before your main laboratory work, and this may take a substantial amount of time and may cost an important amount.
thank you for answer , i myself convinced about not able to find strict guidelines for this.
