Scientists have [https://slotxo.im/ slot] discovered more about the mysterious role of epigenetics, the study of how genes change, in controlling the way cancers develop.

Often called ""dark matter"", it could alter the way cancer is detected and treated, research from The Institute of Cancer Research suggests.

And it could lead to new forms of tests for the disease which would help tailor treatments.

But this is a long way off, with research still at an early stage.

When most people think of genetics, they think of structural changes to the DNA code that are passed down the generations."	defect	new	major	milestone2	component1	1.0		Jqlcjh
