Musings From A MuserMusings From A Muser. Wednesday, July 23, 2008. One of the most remarkable developments in biology in years is the discovery of epigenetics. A more technical discussion is down below, but let me start with an analogy. DNA has often been described using a recipe metaphor. The recipe is just some words on a piece of paper, but describes how to combine ingredients in the environment to produce a dish. It's the expression of the recipe that makes the difference between good cake and OHMYGODITSDELICIOUS!
