Inherited epigenetic variation--revisiting soft inheritance.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 May 2006

Richards Eric J

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic variation is traditionally parsed into components that are directed by genetic and environmental variation. The line between these two components is blurred by inherited epigenetic variation, which is potentially sensitive to environmental inputs. Chromatin and DNA methylation-based mechanisms mediate a semi-independent epigenetic inheritance system at the interface between genetic control and the...
