N2 - The term “epigenetics” is critically analyzed basing on the differential concept of variability. A strict definition of epigenetic processes is proposed. The widely accepted tradition to oppose the words “genetic” and “epigenetic” is shown to be incorrect. An adequate antonym for the term “epigenetics” is proposed. Optimization of current genetic terminology due to epigenetics redefining is discussed.
