Epigenetic inheritance plays a crucial role in many biological processes, such as gene
expression in early embryo development, imprinting and the silencing of transposons. It has …

Epigenetic mechanisms are an underappreciated and often ignored component of an
organism's response to environmental change and may underlie many types of phenotypic …

The vertebrate body plan and organs are shaped during a conserved embryonic phase
called the phylotypic stage. However, the mechanisms that guide the epigenome through …

Hypoxia is amongst the most widespread and pressing problems in aquatic environments.
Here we demonstrate that fish (Oryzias melastigma) exposed to hypoxia show reproductive …

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a commercially important high production chemical widely used in
epoxy resins and polycarbonate plastics, and is ubiquitous in the environment. Previous …

Abstract Both 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and its oxidized form 5-hydroxymethylcytosine
(5hmC) have been proposed to be involved in tumorigenesis. Because the readout of the …

Rapid environmental change is predicted to compromise population survival, and the
resulting strong selective pressure can erode genetic variation, making evolutionary rescue …

For most organisms, early life‐history stages are the most sensitive to environmental stress
and so transgenerational phenotypic plasticity, whereby the parental environment and …

Obesity was shown to cause reproductive dysfunctions such as reduced conception,
infertility and early pregnancy loss. However, the possible effects of obesity on oocyte quality …

Genomes of invertebrates and vertebrates exhibit highly divergent patterns of DNA
methylation. Invertebrate genomes tend to be sparsely methylated, and DNA methylation is …
