So, you're saying that they have changed one species to another and have controlled the variables in such a way that only gene code modification occurred and there were no differences in epigenetic expression?
There isn't a dichotomy between genetic and epigenetic effects.
Epigenetics is the mechanisms of embryology acting on the genetics.

You don't understand what is meant by a scientific law.
From my research I've found that micro array analysis of the epigenetic expression of organism's genes suggest evidence that methylation and histone status change regularly throughout the life of the organism, not just in the embryo.
