The “ontogenic pyramid”. The phenotype (PHE) may be seen as the result of four variables: the original zygotic genome (GEN), the environments (ENV), the epigenome (EPI) and the somatic genome variations (SGV). The two headed arrows are meant to suggest complex reciprocal interactions between them. From Sgaramella & Astolfi [39], with permission.
