Epigenome-wide Association Studies and the Interpretation of Disease -Omics

Reported by Carl Zimmer in:  Growing Pains for Field of Epigenetics as Some Call for Overhaul
Excerpt:

these experts “…argue that in some cases, changes to epigenetic marks don’t cause disease, but are merely consequences of disease.

My comment: What kind of biologically uninformed expert or science journalist continues to misrepresent what is known to serious scientists about all virus-driven pathology?
See for comparison: Epigenetics and Genetics of Viral Latency
Excerpt:

…viral latency is responsible for life-long pathogenesis and mortality risk…

Excerpt:

…evolutionary science has now “moved on to such an extent” that she and Peter Saunders don’t really care anymore about “trying to convince the neo-Darwinists.”

Carl Zimmer and his “experts” continue to stand in the way of scientific progress. There is no such thing as an epigenome-wide association study outside the context of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that link energy-dependent changes from angstroms to ecosystems in all living genera. The GWAS also link virus-driven energy theft to all pathology.

Energy-dependent RNA-mediated cell type differentiation is linked to all biodiversity via the innate immune system and supercoiled DNA. Virus-driven energy theft is linked from mutations to all pathology.
