This is a wonderful animation and the concept is beautifully popularized here, excellent work! Thanks!

the most important influential factor has been left out in this animation: thought. Stress, negative thinking, etc. are the major signals that influences the epigenetics. The placebo effect is a good example to illustrate this.
