<start_of_turn>model
Epigenetics refers to modifications in gene expression that do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence. These modifications, which include DNA methylation and histone modification, can turn genes on or off, influencing various biological processes. Epigenetic changes can be influenced by environmental factors, lifestyle, and experiences, and can even be passed down through generations. Their role in human health is significant, as they can contribute to various conditions, including cancers, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. Understanding epigenetic mechanisms offers potential for novel therapeutic interventions and personalized medicine approaches.<end_of_turn><eos>
