New research suggests how PCOS may be partly inherited through "epigenetic memory," offering insight into why the condition tends to run in families.

Eggs and embryos from people with polycystic ovary syndrome have altered patterns of so-called epigenetic tags, which could ...

The research revealed widespread disruptions in the activity of genes responsible for early embryonic genome activation, metabolic processes, epigenetic regulation, and chromatin structure in ...

This valuable study concerns a model for transgenerational epigenetic inheritance, the learned avoidance by C. elegans of the PA14 pathogenic strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A recent study ...

The closer we examine the genome, the more we come to appreciate the role of small RNAs in what’s known as epigenetic inheritance, when traits are passed down without changes to the underlying DNA ...

Inheritance In Protein “Matthew really opened up a new form of epigenetic inheritance,” says Dr. Brent Derry, Eroglu’s supervisor.

Understanding how trauma is passed across generations means looking beyond genes and cells to the environments that shape and influence them. Human development is sculpted by lived experience, from ...

Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance (TEI) The transmission of epigenetic marks and phenotypic traits to subsequent generations (F2 and beyond or F3 and beyond in female pregnant individuals) ...

Researchers identified genes that could explain why some assisted reproductive technologies, like IVF, carry a higher risk of growth and metabolic issues in offspring.

The closer we look at the genome, the more we appreciate the role of small RNAs in what we call epigenetic inheritance. That's when traits get passed down without altering our basic DNA sequence.
