Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance [PDF]
Current Biology, 2003 What is it? If you thought all heritable traits are written in the DNA sequence, think again! We have come to realize that, at some alleles, the epigenetic state of the DNA can also be inherited. This is indicated by analysis of alleles where the establishment of the epigenetic state is stochastic.

Transgenerational developmental programming [PDF]
Human Reproduction Update, 2013 The concept of developmental programming suggests that the early life environment influences offspring characteristics in later life, including the propensity to develop diseases such as the metabolic syndrome. There is now growing evidence that the effects of developmental programming may also manifest in further generations without further suboptimal

RNA-mediated transgenerational inheritance in ciliates and plants. [PDF]
, 2017 In the age of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and with the availability of whole sequenced genomes and epigenomes, some attention has shifted from purely sequence-based studies to those of heritable epigenetic modifications.

Family Genealogy’s Contributions to the Philosophical Problem of Birth
Genealogy, 2018 The central philosophical problem of birth concerns the fact that it is an event necessary for all events. As such, it is the nihilated a priori of itself—in short, it is lost in an abyss of consciousness.

Epigenetics and transgenerational inheritance
The Journal of Physiology, 2023 AbstractEpigenetic modifications can alter the function of genes. The epigenetics changes are caused by environmental effects, which lead to chemical modifications of the DNA or the chromatin. The mechanisms involve the influence of small interfering siRNAs on gene silencing.

Cells, 2022 Apart from the known associations between arachidonic acid (AA), weight gain, and neurological and immune function, AA exposure leads to alterations in global and gene-specific DNA methylation (DNAm) and fatty acid (FA) content in human cultured cells ...

Transgenerational effects of maternal sexual interactions in seed beetles
, 2020 Mating often bears large costs to females, especially in species with high levels of sexual conflict over mating rates. Given the direct costs to females associated with multiple mating, which include reductions in lifespan and lifetime reproductive ...
