Studies on germline epigenetic inheritance must include a particularly rigorous assessment of potential alternative modes of transmission that are germline independent but could be interpreted as ...

Historians study the causes and consequences of past events, but also consider alternative scenarios. What might have happened, for example, if Britain had stayed out of the war in Europe in 1914?

Evidence from a rapidly growing number of experiments, by my group and many others, has convinced me that they can. Accidental Inheritance My first glimpse of multigenerational epimutations was a ...

In an experiment, researchers taught male mice ... genetic code may also be acquired from our parents through epigenetic inheritance. Epigenetics studies how molecules act as DNA markers that ...

All three relied on or built upon the work of the Austrian monk, whose experiments in pea plants are famous today as the foundation of genetics. Yet at the time, “there was no such discipline as ...

Biologists at the University of California San Diego have successfully used the CRISPR gene-editing tool to control genetic inheritance in mice for the first time. Normally, inheritance of a ...

Still, those experiments couldn’t rule out some kind ... emeritus professor of paediatric genetics at University College London, who has been championing the idea of epigenetic inheritance ...

Mendel’s experiments would lead to the fundamental laws of inheritance, laying the modern foundation for the study of genetics. The original greenhouse that Mendel worked in was destroyed in a ...
