Résumé
'Epigenetics' is the process by which distinct cell types or cell states are inherited through multiple cell divisions. 'Epigenomics' refers to DNA-associated physical and functional entities including histone modifications and DNA methylation, not concepts of inheritance. Conflating epigenetics and epigenomics is confusing and causes misunderstanding of a fundamental biological process.
