Definition
The study of changes in gene expression caused by mechanisms other than changes in DNA sequence, often influenced by environmental factors.
Etymology
From Greek 'epi-' (upon, above) + 'genetics' from 'genesis' (origin). Changes upon or above the genes.
Kelly Says
Epigenetics is the plot twist in the nature-nurture debate — your experiences can actually switch genes on and off, and those changes can even be passed to your kids!
