Molecular medicine is moving beyond genomics to encompass the new scientific field of epigenetics. First described as a conceptual model of how genes might interact with their surroundings to produce a phenotype, epigenomic research currently investigates mechanisms of nongenetic modification contributing to gene regulation and examines the impact of these changes on human health and behavior.
分子医学正在超越基因组学，涵盖新的表观遗传学科学领域。表观遗传学最初被描述为一种概念模型，即基因如何与周围环境相互作用产生表型，目前的表观基因组学研究调查了非遗传修饰对基因调控的贡献机制，并研究了这些变化对人类健康和行为的影响。
