Epigenetics: http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/epigenetics/

introductory video: THE EPIGENOME AT A GLANCE

An introduction to the epigenome and how it instructs DNA.

interactive explore: GENE CONTROL

Change the level of gene expression in a cell with the turn of a dial!

learn more: THE EPIGENOME LEARNS FROM ITS EXPERIENCES

Epigenetic tags record the gene-regulating signals the cell receives.

learn more: EPIGENETICS & INHERITANCE

Parents have a role in shaping the epigenome.

video explore: INSIGHTS FROM IDENTICAL TWINS

Why do the physical characteristics of identical twins diverge as they age? Follow the interaction of the environment and the genome in a pair of twins over time.

interactive explore: LICK YOUR RATS

What kind of mother are you? Care for a rat pup and shape its epigenome.

learn more: NUTRITION & THE EPIGENOME

What you eat can change your gene expression.
