Dna Methylation

Folate plays a critical role in DNA methylation -- a process by which genes are turned off or on.

The study shows that even before the birth of a child, fetus is genetically programmed in the spinal cord for choosing one of the arms as a superior tool than the other for executing daily tasks.

The results were published in the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Genetics.

Apart from genes, environment and lifestyle factors that lead to chemical modifications of human genes can also influence a child's pubertal timing, a new study has found.
