Can 100-Year-Old Research Lead to the Discovery of Novel Mechanisms of Inheritance? International Team to Reevaluate and Recreate Experiments from Vienna’s Legendary Biologische Versuchsanstalt, Led ...

Childhood stress can impact the epigenetic profile of sperm. These results may also have practical implications for future generations through epigenetic inheritance, as many of the observed ...

A research team has recently made a significant breakthrough in understanding how the DNA copying machine helps pass on epigenetic information to maintain gene traits at each cell division.

Epigenetic variation, like genetic variation, can be inherited and influence traits across generations. However, epigenetic variation does not involve changes to the genetic sequence that makes up DNA ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Among genetically identical ‘agouti viable yellow’ (A vy) mice, some are brown and lean while others are yellow and obese. These differences are due to epigenetics, a system of molecular tags – such ...

In a first-of-its-kind experiment tracing evolution across 25 generations, scientists have discovered that marine copepods—the tiny crustaceans at the heart of the ocean food web—rely on a largely ...
