Abstract

Over the past months, as this special issue took shape, the Editors of Science have monitored an exchange of seven letters initiated by three queries from M. Bacon. These queries concern the popular definitions of "genes," "genetics," and "epigenetics." Below, we reprint excerpts from these letters, referring interested readers to www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/293/5532/1103/DC1 for the complete text and additional references.

摘要

在过去的几个月里，随着这一特刊逐渐成形，《科学》杂志的编辑们留意到了一场由M. 培根提出的三个问题引发的七封信函的交流。这些问题涉及“基因”“遗传学”和“表观遗传学”的通俗定义。以下，我们重印这些信函的节选内容，感兴趣的读者可查阅www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/293/5532/1103/DC1获取全文及其他参考文献。
