Wired has an article about the epigenome. . .
The more we learn about the human genome, the less DNA looks like destiny.
As scientists discover more about the “epigenome,” a layer of biochemical reactions that turns genes on and off, they’re finding that it plays a big part in health and heredity.
The article goes on to say that the epigenome can actually be influenced by the environment. While we cannot change our DNA we have a large amount of control over our epigenome, which is more important in who we are. Is that an empowering thought or what?
