- Epigenetics - Wikipedia
In biology, epigenetics is the study of changes in gene expression that happen without changes to the DNA sequence [1] The Greek prefix epi- (ἐπι- "over, outside of, around") in epigenetics implies features that are "on top of" or "in addition to" the traditional (DNA sequence based) genetic mechanism of inheritance [ 2 ]

Epigenetics refers to how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work Unlike genetic changes (mutations), epigenetic changes are reversible and do not change the sequence of DNA bases, but they can change how your body reads a DNA sequence
- What Is Epigenetics? - Cleveland Clinic
Epigenetics is a relatively new field of study that looks at how certain chemicals inside your body’s cells control how your genes work Scientists call these chemicals epigenetic marks or chemical signatures
- Epigenetics | Definition, Inheritance, Disease | Britannica
epigenetics, the study of the chemical modification of specific genes or gene-associated proteins of an organism Epigenetic modifications can define how the information in genes is expressed and used by cells

Epigenetics is the study of heritable and stable changes in gene expression that occur through alterations in the chromosome rather than in the DNA sequence
- What is Epigenetics? - Center on the Developing Child at . . .
Epigenetics is an emerging area of scientific research that shows how environmental influences—children’s experiences—actually affect the expression of their genes
- Epigenetics: Fundamentals, History, and Examples | What is . . .
What is Epigenetics? Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression (active versus inactive genes) that do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence — a change in phenotype without a change in genotype — which in turn affects how cells read the genes
