As the development of a disease or disorder can be viewed as resulting from the interplay of genetic and environmental factors over the life span of the individual, potent environmental influences may manifest at many stages of life: as a gamete, as an embryo, during epigenesis, in utero, during childhood, during adulthood, or with aging. A system such as ISVD can help inquirers convert impersonal facts or data to personal information, and may thereby lead them to comprehension of epigenesis in their individual patterns of career development through analysis, practice, and understanding of decision-making development. Before there was embryology, or genetics, or microbiology, there was preformation and epigenesis. |
