    • The embryo is human, since it has the genetic constitution and epigenetic primordia characteristic of human beings.
    • Such variations might arise from minor genetic differences or by epigenetic influences causing induction, enhancement or inhibition of repair enzyme synthesis or activity.
    1. 1.1 Relating to or of the nature of epigenesis.

  • epigeneticist

  • noun
    • In the first chapter, he traces the emergence of the modern conception of the gene back to the 18th century debate between preformationists and epigeneticists.
