The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Changes to the epigenome can result in changes to the structure of chromatin and changes to the function of the genome.
- The human epigenome, including DNA methylation and histone modification, is maintained through cell division.
- The epigenome is essential for normal development and cellular differentiation, enabling cells with the same genetic code to perform different functions.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Epigenome article was read about 9,900 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 57: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
