Epigenetics is the science of living DNA, charting the chemical pathways that spur DNA into action by turning genes on and off. While the Human Genome Project of the early 2000s was hailed as the key to understanding human heredity and disease, that historic effort was just the beginning. It has taken epigenetics to fill in the picture, explaining how the fixed code of our genome is implemented in countless living processes.
Epigenetics has led to surprises galore, among them that our environment and behavior affects the way our genes work. What's more, epigenetic research shows that our parents' environment and behavior also affect our genes, upending the traditional argument on nature versus nurture.
