The genome is the instruction manual for life - but the epigenome provides the highlights and notes to show which sections of the manual need to be read, emphasised, or skipped in response to changing conditions. So we cannot just focus on the static and binary elements of the genetic code. The dynamic epigenetic interactions that govern life are not defined by simple either/ors, but with variation and gradients. This is where the most interesting and important answers await.
