Epigenetic changes of the genome likely play a major role in controlling gene activity in response to developmental or environmental changes.

For a good explanation as to why this is the case, I recommend Jablonka and Lamb (2005) Evolution in Four Dimensions, MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, ISBN 0262101076, chapter 7, pages 245 to 283: "Interacting Dimensions: Genes and Epigenetic Systems".

Epigenetic mechanisms may also explain why identical twins, who inherit identical genes, have different traits, including genetic diseases: the different lives the twins lead cause some disease genes, including those linked to cancer and schizophrenia, to switch off.
