Build Your Epigenetics Map From Your Notes
Upload lecture slides or a textbook chapter and get a branched map of the topic you are studying.
Upload your own material
Add a PDF, Word file, PowerPoint or text notes, and the AI maps the key epigenetic concepts.
Organized by mechanism
Branches separate DNA methylation, histone changes and non-coding RNA so each mechanism is easy to review.
Quiz and flashcards
Turn the finished map into a quiz, or make flashcards from the same notes to test recall.

Epigenetics Concept Map: Main Branches
Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene activity that do not alter the underlying DNA sequence. An epigenetics mind map usually divides the topic into the chemical marks that control genes, the enzymes that write, read and erase them, and the ways these changes affect development, disease and inheritance. Seeing these links together helps students remember how one mechanism leads to another.
- DNA methylation: addition of methyl groups, usually silencing gene expression
- Histone modification: acetylation, methylation and other tail changes altering chromatin
- Chromatin remodeling: movement or restructuring of nucleosomes to open or close genes
- Non-coding RNA: microRNA and other RNAs that guide silencing
- Inheritance and disease: transgenerational effects and links to cancer
Use the map to revise each mechanism, then test yourself with the quiz. To build a version tailored to your own course notes, create a personalized epigenetics mind map with CogniGuide.
Epigenetics Mind Map Questions
Answers on the topic and on making your own map.
What is epigenetics in simple terms?
Epigenetics studies changes in how genes are switched on or off without changes to the DNA sequence itself. These changes can be passed on when cells divide and sometimes between generations.
What are the main epigenetic mechanisms?
The main mechanisms are DNA methylation, histone modification, chromatin remodeling and regulation by non-coding RNA. Each one changes how accessible a gene is to the transcription machinery.
Which files can I use to make my own map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or images. You can also type a topic directly.
Is it free to create an epigenetics mind map?
Yes. The free plan allows 5 creations a week with no payment needed. Paid plans raise the limits.
