Epigenetic inheritance concerns the mechanisms that ensure transmission of epigenetic marks from mother to daughter cell. Chromatin modifications and nuclear organization are candidates for ...

Childhood stress may leave lasting marks on sperm, altering epigenetic profiles and potentially influencing brain development ...

Childhood stress can impact the epigenetic profile of sperm. These results may also have practical implications for future generations through epigenetic inheritance, as many of the observed ...

The closer we look at the genome, the more we appreciate the role of small RNAs in what we call epigenetic inheritance. That's when traits get passed down without altering our basic DNA sequence.

These results may also have practical implications for future generations through epigenetic inheritance, as many of the observed epigenetic associations are related to brain development. This ...

A new study of Holocaust survivors provides the strongest proof yet that genetic changes that occur during life can be transmitted across generations. Every generation of Jews, it is thought, must ...

Poor diet results in dietary heavy metal exposures that over time impact gene behavior via changes in methylation patterns that impact epigenetic inheritance. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!

Today, epigenetics may be defined as the inheritance of information based on gene expression levels rather than on gene sequence (genetics). [9] All of our tissues contain the same 30,000 genes ...
