Difference between Epigenetics and Gene expression

Epigenetics vs. Gene expression

Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene function that do not involve changes in the DNA sequence. Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product.
