Gamma irradiation does not induce detectable changes in DNA methylation directly following exposure of human cells.
Environmental chemicals and radiation have often been implicated in producing alterations of the epigenome thus potentially contributing to cancer and other diseases. Ionizing radiation, released during accidents at nuclear power plants or after atomic bomb explosions, is a potentially serious healt...
