She explains cogently why there certainly is a "revolution" occurring now in genetics, and gives us a very good introductory guide to the subject of epigenetics. There is much more to genetic inheritance than simply the "DNA" that is found in our cells/5. The Epigenetics Revolution. By Nessa Carey Review by Katie H (Biochemistry) The Epigenetics Revolution by Nessa Carey is a book that was recommended to me during my Biochemistry interview at Univ, so I read it over the summer after my A Levels.
