Generation

Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in gene expression that occur without alterations to the underlying DNA sequence itself. These changes are primarily mediated through chemical modifications like DNA methylation and histone modifications, which affect how tightly DNA is packaged and whether genes are accessible for transcription. A key concept is that gene expression can be represented as a function of both genetics (G) and epigenetic marks (E): **Phenotype = f(G, E, G×E)**, where G×E represents gene-environment interactions. Unlike genetic mutations, epigenetic modifications are potentially reversible and can be influenced by environmental factors such as diet, stress, and toxin exposure.
