has_quality epigenetically_modified biological_region epigenetically_modified_region sequence SO:0001720 epigenetically modified region A biological DNA region implicated in epigenomic changes caused by mechanisms other than changes in the underlying DNA sequence. This includes, nucleosomal histone post-translational modifications, nucleosome depletion to render DNA accessible and post-replicational base modifications such as cytosine modification. Moved from is_a biological_region (SO:0001411) to is_a regulatory_region (SO:0005836) on 11 Feb 2021. GREEKC members pointed out that this would be a more appropriate location. See GitHub Issue #530. 11 Feb 2021 updated definition along with addition of epigenomically_modified_region (SO:0002332). Epigenetically modified region is now not inherited while epigenomically modified region is not annotated as inherited. See GitHub Issue #532 and issue #534. 2010-03-27T12:02:29Z kareneilbeck regulatory_region
