Epigenetics: The Game of Genes

Our Genes, Our Environment, Our Destiny

Six different stories tell us why genes alone cannot predict our fate. With the help of epigenetics, scientists explain how DNA profiles change in the course of a lifetime. Environmental factors, diet and stress all influence human cell factories decisively. Heart and brain rejuvenation experiments, organ reconstruction and delaying of the ageing process no longer belong to the world of science fiction - they are already being tested in modern molecular biology.
