Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

The closer we look at the genome, the more we appreciate the role of small RNAs in what we call epigenetic inheritance. That's when traits get passed down without altering our basic DNA sequence.

But if any character is equally probable, Shannon’s formula gets simplified and becomes exactly the same as Boltzmann’s formula for entropy. The physicist John von Neumann supposedly urged Shannon to ...
