To evaluate how epigenetic inheritance could work a group of mice were subjected to what is called environmental enrichment through a combination of physical exercise and cognitive training known ...

The concept of epigenetic inheritance has long been controversial. Some researchers hope that new data on cross-generational effects of environmental exposures will help settle the debate. Andrea ...

This is called “transgenerational epigenetic inheritance,” and it may explain how a person’s health and development could be influenced by the experiences of his or her parents and grandparents.

Chinese scientists have challenged over a century of Darwinian theory, demonstrating that acquired traits can influence ...

As we venture into uncharted territory, each new development in this field will represent a big step forward for the study of epigenetic inheritance.' The implications of this research extend ...

The number of species in which transgenerational epigenetic inheritance has been persuasively demonstrated remains small. Nevertheless, such findings raise an important question, says evolutionary ...

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.
