Epigenetics: What is it and how does it influence human health? 1.1 Introduction The classic approach to genetics cannot explain such things like the dissimilarity of phenotypes in a population or why monozygotic twins have different phenotypes. Epigenetics is used to describe how changes like this happen (Esteller, 2008).
