Epigenetic means a mineral deposit formed later than the enclosing rocks.
Epigenetic means minerals introduced into pre-existing rocks, the formation of secondary minerals by alteration.
Epigenetic literally means “on top of genetics” and refers to changes in gene expression without relying on direct changes in the genetic code (e.g. gene mutation). The natural regulatory factors that govern the fidelity of gene expression include chemical modification of DNA (e.g. gene methylation) or variations in the three dimensional shapes of genes.
