The title of the article you provided is completely incorrect. There is no change to DNA detected by these studies. What gets changes is the expression level of individual genes. Expression level can be changed by almost everything, as it is exactly the fine art of turning ACTG sequence into living organisms.

Or.. Just set up a context such that genes become disabled, enabled, or in combination, yield different behaviors due to the presence (or lack) of signaling structures. It's not like you suddenly evolve or jam a syringe of one minute retrovirus in your neck.
