Epigenetic effects are the result of changes in gene expression that do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence. One common epigenetic modification is DNA methylation, which involves adding a methyl group to the DNA molecule. This can affect gene expression by inhibiting access of transcription factors to the DNA, preventing transcription and leading to downregulation of gene expression.
