Avoiding bad genes: oxidatively damaged DNA in germ line and mate choice.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Nov 2008

Velando Alberto, Torres Roxana, Alonso-Alvarez Carlos

Abstract excerpt

August Weismann proposed that genetic changes in somatic cells cannot pass to germ cells and hence to next generations. Nevertheless, evidence is accumulating that some environmental effects can promote heritable changes in the DNA of germ cells, which implies that some somatic influence on germ line is possible. This influence is mostly detrimental and related to the presence of oxidative stress, which induces...
