EPIGENETICS, THE HIDDEN LIFE OF OUR GENES

The consensus is building that the largest non-genetic contribution to most common diseases is going to be epigenetic, because that is the way every single exposure to the environment can leave its mark on the genome. Today the scientific community has begun the ambitious task of mapping the human epigenome to dig further into the complex but essential understanding of gene regulation and transformation. This film takes us right into the scientific odyssey which completely changes our view on how our genes function and what affects them, deeply transforming our understanding and relationship to the ever-changing process of all things Living.
