Introducing Epigenetics: A Graphic Guide by Cath Ennis, illustrated by Oliver Pugh, is an accessible nonfiction introduction to the biological processes that regulate gene activity without altering the underlying DNA sequence. Presented in the Introducing Graphic Guides format, it combines concise explanations, comics, diagrams, and a glossary to make molecular biology approachable for readers without specialist training. The book begins with essential genetics, including DNA, RNA, proteins, chromosomes, and inheritance, before showing why genetic sequence alone cannot explain how cells with the same DNA become so different. It then examines epigenetic regulation through mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modification, chromatin remodeling, nuclear location, and RNA interactions. Ennis also connects these mechanisms to embryonic development, twin studies, inheritance, aging, cancer, stem cells, and emerging medical research. Its central purpose is to clarify how genes are regulated in changing biological and environmental contexts while also distinguishing established science from exaggerated claims about personal control over genes.
