Epigenetic priming (also known as gene priming) is the modification to a cell's epigenome whereby specific chromatin domains within a cell are converted from a closed state to an open state, usually as the result of an external biological trigger or pathway, allowing for DNA access by transcription factors or other modification mechanisms. The action of epigenetic priming for a certain region of DNA dictates how other gene regulation mechanisms will be able to act on the DNA later in the cell’s life. Epigenetic priming has been chiefly investigated in neuroscience and cancer research, as it has been found to play a key role in memory formation within neurons and tumor-suppressor gene activation in cancer treatment respectively.
