The Epigenetics Revolution (book)

"The Epigenetics Revolution" by Nessa Carey explores how genes can be turned on or off without changing their underlying DNA sequence. This field, called epigenetics, examines the influences of environment, lifestyle, and experiences on gene expression. Carey explains how these changes can affect health, development, and even heredity, revealing a complex interplay between our genes and the world around us. The book highlights the potential for new medical treatments and a deeper understanding of diseases, emphasizing that our fate is not solely determined by our DNA but also by our interactions with our environment.
