Epigenetics (sometimes also called epigenomics) is a field of study focused on changes in DNA that do not involve alterations in the underlying sequence.

DNA

deoxyribonucleic acid a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and function of all living organisms and some viruses; It is also responsible for hereditary transmissionThe letters in DNA and the proteins that interact with DNA can have chemical modifications that change the level at which genes are turned on and off.

fundamental of all living organisms. Certain epigenetic modifications can be passed from the parent cell to the daughter cell during cell division or from one generation to the next.

Epigenome

The set of all epigenetic changes in a genome is called the epigenome.
The term epi means above. It is a Greek prefix. It is also defined as above the DNA base sequence. In general terms it can be compared to the accents of the words where the DNA is the language and the modifications are the accents.

Genes

study of changes in gene function that are heritable and cannot be attributed to alterations in the DNA sequence. A gene is a unit of information at a deoxyribonucleic acid locus that encodes a gene product, either protein or RNA. It is the molecular unit of genetic inheritance, since it stores genetic information and allows it to be transmitted to offspring.
