Thanks to the growing field of epigenetics, we're learning more about the interplay of genetic inheritance and environment in ...

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 ...

The number of species in which transgenerational epigenetic inheritance has been persuasively demonstrated remains small. Nevertheless, such findings raise an important question, says evolutionary ...

which can impact a child's development and also be passed on by that child via epigenetic inheritance. According to the new study, a parent's particular experiences and behaviors may have a larger ...

Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance refers to the transmission of traits from one generation to the next that are not encoded in the DNA sequence but are instead influenced by epigenetic factors.

The nuclear architecture and long-range interactions are likely to contribute to inheritance of epigenetic information. The concerted action of trans-acting factors and the chromatin landscape ...

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.

Seeing epigenetic changes in sperm does not necessarily mean these changes are passed on to children. In fact, researchers are working very hard to answer that question, Tuulari said.

May 9, 2024 — A recent study led to the development of a powerful epigenetic editing technology. The system unlocks the ability to precisely program chromatin modifications at any specific ...

Our lab studies the epigenetics of complex traits: how genomes are packaged into chromatin, how chromatin landscapes are passed from one generation to the next, and how this transgenerational ...
