For example, a disease that is normally associated with a certain gene, can be turned “off” by these switches on the gene. When this certain ...

Epigenetics
... but the genes themselves don’t. Epigenetics adds an additional level of complexity to the genetic code. What actually happens at the molecular level? Epigenetics refers to the addition or deletion of a methyl group to a DNA base, turning the gene on or off, or to packaging of the chromatin structure ...
