Increasing evidence indicates that non-DNA sequence-based epigenetic information can be
inherited across several generations in organisms ranging from yeast to plants to humans …

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes and obesity has risen dramatically for decades and is
expected to rise further, secondary to the growing aging, sedentary population. The strain on …

Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance in mammals remains a debated subject. Here, we
demonstrate that DNA methylation of promoter-associated CpG islands (CGIs) can be …

Epigenetics is the study of changes in gene activity that can be transmitted through cell
divisions but cannot be explained by changes in the DNA sequence. Epigenetic …

Transgenerational plasticity (TGP) occurs when the environment experienced by a parent
influences the development of their offspring. In this article, we develop a framework for …

Despite their unique histories, environments, and lifestyles, historically subjugated
populations consistently show poorer health outcomes compared to the general population …

Although cross generation (CGP) and multigenerational (MGP) plasticity have been
identified as mechanisms of acclimation to global change, the weight of evidence indicates …

More than a century ago, August Weissman defined a distinction between the germline
(responsible for propagating heritable information from generation to generation) and the …

The most fundamental process for the perpetuation of a species is the transfer of information
from parent to offspring. Although genomic DNA contributes to the majority of the …

The ongoing degradation of natural systems and other environmental changes has put our
society at a crossroad with respect to our future relationship with our planet. While the …
