Yet, as is amply demonstrated in Science's special issue of 10 August 2001, recent discoveries in the field of epigenetics -- the study of heritable changes in gene function that occur without a change in the DNA sequence -- have blurred that neat picture, and are changing the way researchers think about heredity.
