Scientists once thought that epigenetic changes were temporary, but it is now clear that they can be passed down to the next generation—and beyond. “We are becoming very interested in ...

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 ...

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 ...

It remains to be seen whether or how the possible transgenerational damage caused by environmentally induced epigenetic changes will affect environmental regulatory policies. Finally, we must ...

“It’s not your direct exposure, so much.” Such transmission of diseases through generations is known as epigenetic ...
