Abstract

Epigenetics has a fascinating and convoluted history steeped within the fields of embryology and genetics. Here, we introduce genetics and epigenetics to the non-expert reader and give an account of the pivotal discoveries that have helped shape these fields. The significance of major discoveries will be explained and their impact on our understanding of epigenetic mechanisms in health and disease will be discussed.
