if traits can be inherited without affecting your DNA, can we see those traits when mapping the genome? Or do they to under the radar? Do epigenetics ever change your actual DNA?
In: Biology
Epigenetics, by definition, doesn’t change your DNA coding so it doesn’t show up when mapping the genome.
It’s changes in which genes are expressed, and when and how, which is caused by the chemical soup surrounding the DNA. You can’t see that from any kind of DNA sequencing.
It’s like handing you a hard drive…you can read it, but you don’t know which files the user is actually cares about.
