Genomics goes beyond dna sequence

Wow. I just got past this wonderful reference explaining how Genomics goes beyond dna sequence. Firstly, I didn’t even know that epigenetics even existed. That explains a lot.

I definitely believe that genes aren’t everything. Kind of like in software, the operating system can only express what the hardware supports. I’m assuming each cell encourages some genes to be expressed while others aren’t.

I’ve always known that the environment plays a strong hand in what gets expressed. Didn’t know that this could be passed on. I assume it is a combination of the make-up of the egg and maybe the contents of the womb.

Just had to record this since it taught me quite a bit
