When people hear about “genes” and “genetic code” they tend to think of it like a computer program that runs every line sequentially, or a regular old book that you read every page front to back.

However, there are actually feedback mechanisms that can alter how the book is read much like a “choose your own adventure” novel. This is what epigenetics is about, it is about the different kinds of feedback that can push your story down different paths despite starting from the same printed book.
