Epigenetics

Epigenetics is the study of how your behaviour and environment can cause changes that affects the way your genes work. Unlike the genetic changes, epigenetic changes are reversible and do not change your DNA sequence, but they can change the ways in which your body reads a DNA sequence. Gene expression refers to how often proteins are created from the instructions within your genes. Genetic changes can alter which protein is made, whereas epigenetic changes affect gene expression to turn genes “on” and “off.”
