Evaluate the drafted changes
Overall on a good track!

A couple of things:


 * I wouldn't say "explicitly influenced by the environment" as explicit might make it seem like only epigenetics can impact transcription.
 * Examples might help readers - one that highlights how environmental changes impact the expression of genes, and how these genes interact with the changing environment. I know about a guinea pig heat exposure study, that showed a change in methylation in response to increased heat exposure - and that change was also inherited. Unfortunately, they don't know which genes were differentially methylated.
 * For each epigenetic modification, I would explain the broad pathway of how a stimulus could change methylation/acetylation/etc.
