Timescales of genetic and epigenetic inheritance.

Cell - 23 Feb 2007

Rando Oliver J, Verstrepen Kevin J

Abstract excerpt

According to classical evolutionary theory, phenotypic variation originates from random mutations that are independent of selective pressure. However, recent findings suggest that organisms have evolved mechanisms to influence the timing or genomic location of heritable variability. Hypervariable...
