Description
Epigenetics: A Graphic Guide by Cath Ennis and Oliver Pugh introduces the fascinating science behind how our genes are expressed. This non-fiction comic book explores genetics, cell biology, and epigenetics, revealing how our environment and experiences shape who we are. The authors examine the role of epigenetic building blocks and messengers in interpreting and editing our genes. They also look at the surprising ways in which identical twins can teach us about the effects of our environment on gene expression. By pulling apart the double helix, Ennis and Pugh provide a clear and engaging explanation of this rapidly advancing field. This book is an ideal introduction to epigenetics for anyone looking to understand how our genes are expressed and why we develop certain traits or diseases.
