Epigenetics as a carrier of parental environmental information Past explanations of phenotypic and behavioral expressions like to divide explanations between nuclear DNA and environmental effects. Based on what we knew about DNA and RNA at the time that idea originated, environment came (in my opinion) to explain more than it was actually capable of adequately [...]

Epigenetics are important in modifying the expression(s) of DNA coding. Detecting these modifications is in its childhood. Difficulties are well explained in: Citation Alla Katsnelson, Genomics Goes Beyond DNA Sequence, Nature 465: 145 (10 May 2010) Who cares? In addition to satisfying scientific curiosity, the market for successful methods of detecting epigenetic modifications (their effects) will be [...]
