Metagenetics 一个新的遗传学（Genetics)分支学科

非常不好意思，我杜撰了这么个遗传学学科

我觉得随着环境-基因研究的不断深入，有必要创建一个新的遗传学学科，我把这个学科称为“Metagenetics"

其中，“Meta-" 有在某某之后的意思，“Metagenetics" 意思为“后遗传学”，但也有“metagenesis“（交替）的意思，可以很好反映“基因-环境因子”相互作用这层意思。

"Metagenetics"

不仅可以囊括“基因-环境”互作的基本理论，也可以把原有的“Nature versus Nurture" 之下所有的话题囊括在内，同时，还可以包括，旨在通过营养设计、环境设计影响基因性状的实践活动。

后遗传学（Metagenetics）是随着“环境-基因互作”的研究进展而逐渐确立的一个遗传学新分支。 “Meta-”表示“其后”，“以下”，指该学科本身是对“遗传学”的扩展和延伸，同时，也是“Metagenesis"（交替）的一部分，这里是借用于反映基因和环境因素之间的相互作用。

“Metagenetics”被用于标示基因和环境互作对性状的影响的有关内容，包括正常性状和异常性状，如某些复杂人类遗传性疾病等受基因-环境互作等相关知识 。这个名词可以被用来代替诸如“自然与培育”等有关主题。在这些领域，使用“Metagenics”显得更简洁，更具体，更正规。可被广泛用于性“自然与培育”、人类遗传性疾病修饰用的营养设计等研究领域。

English Version

Metagenetics is a scientific term newly created as findings of more and more important influences of enviromental factors on genetic traits, and also by the use of a similar term "Epigenetics" in reflecting the controls of genetic information by using various means of modifications, without changing the DNA sequences.

"Meta" denotes "after", "following", the extension of "Genetics", also, there is a word "Metagenesis"(alternation), here it is borrowed to reflect the interaction between genes and environmental factors.

"Metagenetics" may be used to adopt knowledge relating to the findings of all possible interactions between genes and environments on traits, including the normal and abnormal traits, such as human diseases etc.

It could also be used to replace or to substitute the related issues, such as "Nature versus Nurture". It turns out to be more concise, more specific and more formal when using "Metagenetics" in all the relating topics,such as Genes versus environmental factors, Nature versus Nurture, human genetic diseases modification by using nutritional design etc.

Explanation:

As findings of more and more important influences of enviromental factors on genetic traits, and also by being implicated by the use of the term "Epigenetics" in reflecting the controls of genetic information by using various means of modifications, without changing the DNA sequences, I think it is the time to creat a new term "Metagenetics" to adopt knowledge relating to the findings of the effects of interactions between genes and environments on traits, including normal and abnormal traits, such as human diseases, which, in these contexts are obviously extensions of "Genetics". I realized that people usually use "Nature versus Nurture" when discuss the related issues, however, I think this time it may be more concise, more specific and more formal to use the word "Metagenics" to represent all relating topics.  

我们的Metagenetics与西方和美国的“Metagenetics" 不同之处：
