a: Epigenetics ~
b: very elaborate filing system
What: "This is nowhere near the whole story at the sequence level, but for now let's assume it is, as I'm about to add a layer of complexity to it. The prefix epi- in epigenetics comes from Greek, meaning over or on top of as it represents the genetic regulation that supersedes that which is imparted by the DNA sequence, itself. Put another way, epigenetics is like a very elaborate filing system for genetic information in a cell. "
