Can a mother's diet during pregnancy alter the disposition of the kid's genes?
We all know how the cigarettes and alcohol can do damage, but can specific nutrients skew our epigenetic regulators in other particular directions?

Is there a diet that will help mom give birth to a better athlete or chess player?

Assuming we've already mapped the genome, how can we map the epigenome, which is the more subtle arbiter of genetic makeup?

What equipment or techniques are available to map epigenetic regulatory mechanisms?
