Tulowooza nti tetusobola kukyusa bintu bye tusikira okuva mu bazadde baffe, nedda? Si langi y’amaaso yokka, obutonde bw’enviiri, langi y’olususu, obuwanvu, wabula n’obulabe bw’okufuna endwadde ezimu... Tukimanyi nti bino byonna biva mu buzaale bwaffe. N’olwekyo tulowooza nti obuzaale buno bulinga ekintu ekiyooleddwa mu mayinja, ekitakyuka, era nga tetusobola kufuga. Naye... wandiwuniikiridde singa tugambibwa nti tusobola okukyusa "engeri" obuzaale buno gye "bukola" nga tuyita mu bulamu bwaffe, emmere gye tulya, n'ebintu bye tukola? Epigenetics kye kitundu kya ssaayansi ekipya era ekyewuunyisa ekyogera ku kino.
Mu ngeri ennyangu, Epigenetics kye ki?
Kino kiyinza okuwulikika ng’ekigambo kya ssaayansi, naye mu butuufu endowooza eno nnyangu nnyo. Ka tumenye ekigambo `Epigenetics`. `Epi` Luyonaani ekitegeeza "waggulu, okwetooloola, ebweru." `Genetics` ye ssaayansi w'obuzaale. Era `Epigenetics` ekwata ku kufuga okuliwo "waggulu w'obuzaale."
Kilowoozeeko bw’otyo. Obuzaale bwo bulinga bbaatule z’ettaala mu nnyumba yo. Tosobola kukyusa bbaatule ezo kye ziri oba gye ziri. Zino kintu ky’osikira. Naye olina switch esalawo oba bbaatule eyo eyaka oba evuddeko. Mpozzi bbaatule eyo erina switch ya dimmer egikoleeza n’okugiggyako.
Mu ngeri y’emu, `Epigenetics` mboozi ekwata ku nkola ya "chemical switches" ezifuga oba obuzaale mu mubiri gwaffe bukola (obukoleezeddwa/obuzikiddwa), oba oba emirimu gyabwo gikendedde (gizikiddwa), awatali kukyusa bbaatule y'ettaala eyitibwa obuzaale.
Enkyukakyuka zino ez’eddagala zikwatibwako ebintu bingi, omuli engeri gye tubeera, emmere gye tulya, embeera gye tubeera, n’okunyigirizibwa kwe tufuna. Oluusi enkyukakyuka zino ziba nnungi eri emibiri gyaffe, ne zitukuuma obutakwatibwa ndwadde. Emirundi emirala, ziyinza okwonoona obulamu bwaffe.
Ka twejjukize katono ku buzaale ne DNA kye ki?
Kino okukitegeera, ka tusooke tulabe mu bufunze obuzaale ne DNA.
Lowooza ku mutendera gwo gwonna ogwa `DNA` ng'ekitabo ekinene eky'enkola y'emmere . Buli katoffaali mu mubiri gwo kalina ebiragiro byonna bye bwetaaga okukola obulungi omulimu gwako. Obutoffaali buyiga eky'okukola n'engeri y'okukikola nga ``busoma`` ekitabo kino ekya ``DNA``.
Mu mibiri gyaffe mulimu obuwumbi n’obuwumbi bw’obutoffaali. Obutoffaali bw’olususu, obutoffaali bw’omutima, obutoffaali bw’obwongo n’ebirala. Buli emu ku butoffaali buno erimu kkopi y'ekitabo kyonna eky'enkola ya ``DNA''.
Naye, si buli kasenge nti kasoma ekitabo kino kyonna. Tekyetaagisa kukikola. Lowooza ku butoffaali bw’olususu tebwetaaga biragiro okuva mu katoffaali k’omutima ku ngeri y’okukolamu. Nga keeki bweteetaaga recipe ya sambol.
Genes ze recipes ssekinnoomu mu kitabo ekyo ekinene eky’enkola.A. Ensengekera y’obuzaale eringa essuula mu kitabo ekulagira okukola omulimu ogw’enjawulo. Kale, akatoffaali k’olususu kasoma ebiragiro (obuzaale) byokka eby’olususu. Akatoffaali k’omutima kasoma ebiragiro byokka ebikwata ku mutima.
`Epigenetics` ky'ekola kwe kusalawo enkola ki buli katoffaali gye kalina okusoma n'eyo etalina kusoma. Kiba ng'okuteeka sitiika ku mpapula ezimu ez'akatabo k'emmere eziwandiikiddwaako nti "Kozesa kino kati" n'emiko emirala egyawandiikibwako nti "Totunuulira kino kati."
Kiki ekikwata ku Epigenome yaffe?
`Epigenome` ye nkola ekolebwa obuzaale bwaffe ne `chemical switches` ezifuga engeri obuzaale obwo gye bukola. Ekikulu kiri nti `epigenome` eno si ya kifo kimu. Kikyuka okumala ekiseera, n’ebintu ebibaawo mu bulamu bwaffe.
Ensonga ezikwata ku nkyukakyuka zino zitandika nga tetunnazaalibwa. Laba bye biri mu kipande wansi.
| Ensonga ekwata ku nsonga | Ennyinyonnyola ennyangu n’ebyokulabirako |

Endwadde ki eziyinza okuyungibwa ku epigenetics?
Bannasayansi bakyanoonyereza ku nsonga eno, naye ekimanyiddwa mu kiseera kino kiri nti enkyukakyuka mu buzaale (epigenetic changes) zikwatagana n’endwadde eziwerako.
- Kookolo: Teebereza, tulina obuzaale mu mubiri gwaffe obuziyiza obutoffaali bwa kookolo okukula. Naye kiki ekibaawo singa obuzaale buno ‘buzikiddwa’, kwe kugamba, ne busirisibwa, olw’obulamu obubi? Obutoffaali bwa kookolo buweebwa omukisa okukula nga tebufugibwa.
- Endwadde z’obwongo: Waliwo obukakafu obulaga nti enkyukakyuka mu buzaale (epigenetic changes) zikwatagana n’endwadde ezeekuusa ku myaka nga Parkinson’s disease ne Alzheimer’s disease, wamu n’endwadde ezimu ez’obwongo n’obulemu ku magezi.
- Enkyukakyuka mu mubiri: Embeera nga sukaali n’omugejjo zikwatibwako engeri obuzaale bwaffe gye bukolamu. Endya yaffe esobola okukyusa engeri obuzaale buno gye bukolamu.
- Okukaddiwa: Obubonero buno obwa ‘epigenetic’ era bukosa enkola y’okukaddiwa n’endwadde ezikwatagana nabyo.
- Endwadde z’abaserikale b’omubiri: Zino era zeekuusa ku ndwadde za `autoimmune` nga asima n’endwadde z’enkizi, ekitegeeza endwadde abaserikale b’omubiri mwe balumba obutoffaali bwagwo.
Nga okunoonyereza ku kino bwe kugenda mu maaso, bannassaayansi basuubira okufuna eddagala eppya n’obujjanjabi nga batunuulira ‘epigenome’ eno.
Kale tusobola okukyusa epigenome yaffe ne tugifuula ennungi?
Yee, mazima ddala kisobola!Ago ge mawulire amalungi. Wadde nga tetusobola kukyusa buzaale bwe tusikira, tusobola okukwata ku ngeri obuzaale obwo gye bukolamu mu ngeri ennungi. Wadde nga tewali ngeri emu, enkakafu ey’okukola kino, bannassaayansi bakkiriza nti tusobola okukola enkyukakyuka ennungi ‘epigenetic’ nga tukola bino wammanga:
Ebintu by’osobola okwekolera
- Lya emmere erimu ebiriisa: Muteekemu emmere nnyingi ezifumbiddwa awaka nga bwe kisoboka, gamba ng’enva endiirwa, ebibala, ebibala ebibisi, emmere ey’empeke, n’ebyennyanja. Kendeeza ku mmere epakibwa, erongooseddwa, n’erimu ssukaali omungi, erimu amafuta.
- Teeka dduyiro mu nkola yo eya bulijjo: Kola ekintu ng’okutambula, okudduka oba okuvuga obugaali waakiri okumala eddakiika 30 olunaku. Kyokka bw’oba mupya mu kukola dduyiro, kikulu okusooka okwogera n’omusawo omanye ekika kya dduyiro ekikusaanira.
- Komya omwenge era weewale ddala okunywa ssigala: Bino bye bintu ebyonoona butereevu `DNA` ne `epigenome` yaffe.
- Fulumya situleesi: Osobola okukendeeza ku situleesi ng’okola ebintu ng’okufumiitiriza, yoga, okuwuliriza ennyimba ennungi, okwenyigira mu mulimu gw’onyumirwa, n’okwogera ku bintu ne mukwano gwo gwe weesiga.
Bw’oba oli muzadde, bino bye bimu ku bintu by’oyinza okukolera omwana wo:
`Epigenome` yaffe esinga kukyuka mu myaka egisooka egy'obulamu, kale kikulu abazadde okukimanya kino.
- Okuwa omwana wo endya entuufu: Weebuuze ku musawo w’abaana ku nsonga eno.
- Omwana wo muwe emikisa okuyiga n’okuzannya: Yogerako n’omwana wo, soma ebitabo, muyigirize ebigambo ebipya, era muwe eby’okuzannyisa ebikulaakulanya obwongo.
- Tonda embeera ey’omukwano, ey’obukuumi: Tonda embeera awaka omwana mw’awulira ng’alina obukuumi, ayagalibwa era ng’alabirirwa.
- Bw’oba oyolekedde okusoomoozebwa ng’obutaba na mmere, ensonga z’amayumba, oba obutabanguko mu maka, nsaba onoonye obuyambi okuva eri omusawo oba omukungu akwatagana . Bajja kukulungamya okufuna obuwagizi ggwe n’abaana bo bwe mwetaaga.
Bwe tuwulira endowooza ya `Epigenetics`, tusobola okuwulira okwewuunya, essuubi, n'okutya okutono ku ludda olumu. Bwe tulowooza ku bigenda mu maaso munda mu mibiri gyaffe, waliwo ebiseera lwe tuwulira ng’ebintu ebyo tetusobola kubifuga. Naye `Epigenetics` etuyigiriza nti newankubadde waliwo ebintu ebisukka mu buyinza bwaffe, tulina amaanyi agamu okusalawo ku bulamu bwaffe n'okukola enkyukakyuka ennungi.
Obubaka Obutwala Awaka
- Wadde nga tosobola kukyusa buzaale bw’osikira okuva mu bazadde bo, osobola okukyusa engeri obuzaale obwo gye bukozesebwa/okuzikizibwa.
- Ebintu ng’endya yo, dduyiro, situleesi, n’embeera gy’obeera bikwata butereevu ku ngeri obuzaale bwo gye bukolamu. Kino kiyitibwa epigenetics.
- Ezimu ku nkyukakyuka zino ziyinza okuba ez’omugaso eri obulamu bwo, ate endala ziyinza okukuviirako endwadde nga kookolo ne ssukaali.
- Okulya emmere erimu ebiriisa, okukola dduyiro, okwewala okunywa sigala n’omwenge, n’okuddukanya situleesi bisobola okukosa obulungi obuzaale bwo.
- Endya n’okulabirira abaana bye bafuna naddala nga bakyali bato, birina kye bikola ku bulamu bwabwe obw’omu maaso okumala ebbanga eddene.
- Bw’oba olina ekibuuzo ekirala kyonna ku nsonga eno, yogerako n’omusawo w’amaka go.
