1. Our study addresses the role of non-genetic and genetic inheritance in shaping the adaptive potential of populations under a warming ocean scenario. We used a combined experimental approach ...

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 ...

This study sought to examine the ethical and practical questions of epigenome editing and its use for therapeutic purposes, especially in the context of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance and ...

Epigenetic tags may not be handed down through generations, but research is unveiling new avenues to evaluate disease and the aging process. What to know: About a decade ago, research seemed to show ...

A new study reveals that female fruit flies switch to ethanol-rich food when their eggs are threatened by predatory wasps, and that this adaptation is inherited across five generations of their ...

Parents’ mutations, even if they’re not inherited by offspring, could affect subsequent generations through changes to epigenetic marks, a study finds. Although epigenetic changes were long thought to ...
