[HTML][HTML] Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance: myths and mechanisms
E Heard, RA Martienssen - Cell, 2014 - cell.com
Since the human genome was sequenced, the term" epigenetics" is increasingly being
associated with the hope that we are more than just the sum of our genes. Might what we …

Ecological plant epigenetics: Evidence from model and non‐model species, and the way forward
Growing evidence shows that epigenetic mechanisms contribute to complex traits, with
implications across many fields of biology. In plant ecology, recent studies have attempted to …
