GENES: CERTAIN FATE OF HUMAN? – SCIENTIFIC AND DIVINITY PERSPECTIVES

DNA is the static genetic code of human that provides the source of his all characteristics. However, DNA can be altered by chemical modifications that promote flexibility of genetic code by the regulation of gene activation or inactivation. DNA modifications, in contrast to genetic mutations, are r...
