When we think of the traits that we have we often think of them as being products of our genes. However, we never think of the fact that there are factors that control for the expression of our genes. (One page/Double space).

For this discussion board I would like you to look for a news article on epigenetics.

You will need to do the following for points:

1. Give a short summary of what the news headline is about. Your news headline can deal with any aspect of epigenetics. Make sure you give a citation or simply provide a link to the website that you used.
2. As part of your summary you will have to say how the epigene(s) that you looked at is/are responsible for gene regulation. Alternatively, you can talk about how environmental factors can influence the epigenes.
3. Lastly, make sure you cite your work.
