This review describes new developments in the study of transgenerational epigenetic
inheritance, a component of epigenetics. We start by examining the basic concepts of the …

Much attention has been given to the idea of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance, but
fundamental questions remain regarding how much takes place and the impact that this …

Much controversy surrounds the idea of transgenerational epigenetics. Recent papers argue
that epigenetic marks acquired through experience are passed to offspring, but as in much …

Transgenerational epigenetic effects include all processes that have evolved to achieve the
nongenetic determination of phenotype. There has been a long-standing interest in this area …

Recently interest in multi-generational epigenetic phenomena have been fuelled by highly
reproducible intergenerational and transgenerational inheritance paradigms in several …

Inheritance of genomic DNA underlies the vast majority of biological inheritance, yet it has
been clear for decades that additional epigenetic information can be passed on to future …

Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance refers to the transmission of epigenetic information
through the germline. While it has been observed in plants, nematodes and fruit flies, its …

Since the 1990s, a growing number of evolution-oriented biologists have expressed the
view that the foundations of the Modern Synthesis—the evolutionary paradigm that was …

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 …

We discuss the role of cell memory in heredity and evolution. We describe the properties of
the epigenetic inheritance systems (EISs) that underlie cell memory and enable …
