>Scientists have long puzzled over the different fates of identical
>twins: both have the same genes, yet only one may develop a serious
>disease like cancer or autism. What's going on? Does something else
>besides genes determine who we are? The "something else" turns out to
>be a network of chemical switches that sit on our DNA, turning genes
>off and on. Called collectively the epigenome, the switches appear to
>play a major role in everything from how our cells keep their
>identity to whether we contract dread diseases. Epigenetic switches
>may even help mold our personalities. NOVA explores these startling
>possibilities in "Ghost in Your Genes."
>
>Here's what you'll find on the companion Web site:
>
> Epigenetic Therapy
> http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/genes/issa.html
> Dr. Jean-Pierre Issa examines the connection between epigenetics,
> aging, and cancer.
>
> Ask the Expert
> http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/genes/expert.html
> Geneticist Randy Jirtle answers questions about how our
> lifestyles, via epigenetics, can impact the health of our
> children, and more.
>
> A Tale of Two Mice
> http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/genes/mice.html
> In this audio slide show, hear how the epigenome can make
> identical-twin mice appear so different.
>
> Gene Switches
> http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/genes/fate.html
> Not all switches are epigenetic. As this slide show reveals, some
> are genetic -- and amazingly powerful.
>
>Also, a video preview of the program, Links & Books, the program
>transcript, and a teacher's guide:
