"epigenetic modifications" refer to changes that can happen to our genes without altering the DNA sequence itself. These modifications can affect how our genes are expressed or "turned on" or "off" without changing the genetic code.
Epigenetic modifications can be influenced by various factors like our lifestyle, environment, and experiences. They can determine which genes are active in different cells or parts of our bodies and play a role in our development, health, and even diseases.
