As near as I can figure, gene regulatory networks (GRNs) and epigenetic mechanisms both regulate when and were and to what extent genes get expressed.
But what is the relationship between GRNs and epigenetics? Are epigenetic mechanisms a subset of GRNs? If so, what distinguishes epigenetic mechanisms from other aspect of GRNs?
Or are GRNs and epigenetic mechanisms distinct cellular mechanisms that work in tandem?
Any clarification regarding these terms will be appreciated!
