The closer we look at the genome, the more we appreciate the role of small RNAs in what we call epigenetic inheritance.

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

The concept of epigenetic inheritance has long been controversial. Some researchers hope that new data on cross-generational effects of environmental exposures will help settle the debate. Andrea ...

Science is rarely straightforward. Many times, scientists embark on a study looking for evidence for a particular hypothesis, and in the process, they come across something totally unexpected and ...

This is called “transgenerational epigenetic inheritance,” and it may explain how a person’s health and development could be influenced by the experiences of his or her parents and grandparents. The ...

The pair conceptualized epigenetic inheritance as another evolutionary driver, alongside genetic change and the behavioral and cultural transmission of traits. All four pathways can generate heritable ...

While both epigenetic inheritance and parental effects are stable and accumulate in non-human species, they eventually stop developing, explains Morgan. "Just like animal cultures, ...
