    Epigenome controls the genetics of the body by determining how cells differ from one another. The cells in our body all have the same genes‚ but it’s the epigenome that differentiate the cells to become skin cells‚ nose cells‚ liver cells‚ and heart cells. Skin cells are different from nose cells because the certain set of genes are turned off by the epigenome to express what that cell will become.
