☀️ Wrapping up August with new #Epigenetics insights on #LongCOVID

1️⃣ Shared DNA changes link Long COVID & ME/CFS with unique patterns explaining illness length

2️⃣ Severe COVID alters gene activity temporarily, reversing with recovery

🧬 What is Epigenomics and why does it matter?

It’s not just our DNA that shapes who we are, it’s how that DNA is turned on/off in each cell. That control system is called epigenetics, and it plays a huge role in health, development, and disease.
