"In addition to DNA methylation and histone modifications, scientists have discovered a powerful epigenetic system that operates on top of the genetic code in a very different way from being chemically attached to the chromatin itself. (DNA complexed with histones is called chromatin.) 

This amazing epigenetic paradigm is associated with very small

RNA molecules that are heritable and that profoundly and adaptively affect the development of an organism’s offspring.

One of the best ways to describe how small RNAs work in the cell is to use the analogy of an internet search engine. When a search engine is pulled up in your web browser, you can type in a small bit of text, hit enter, and then get a hit wherever the text matches up. For example, you could enter “for God so loved the world,” and it would immediately pull up the Bible verse John 3:16."
