All genes in an organism are present in every single cell. So your complete genome is present in every single cell. And what that means is that genes have to be turned on in the right place at the right time in order for them to enact their purpose. Now, gene regulation is the process by which the right genes are turned on at the right time and in the right place. There are many mechanisms of gene regulation that we've known about for decades, and epigenetics is one of those mechanisms.

Yleensä kun puhutaan epigenetikkoista, se on erityinen molekyylinen tagi, hyvin pieni molekyyli, joka menee ylöspäin erityisistä kirjoista genetikkojen kohdalla, ja sen jälkeen se luo tuon geneen, tai tuon hieman DNAa, ilmaisempaan säälle. Niin näissä kohdissa se on mekanismi, jolla me kontrollisimme, kun geneemme ovat lähellä ja lähellä.
