Longevity and the long arm of epigenetics: acquired parental marks influence lifespan across several generations.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Aug 2012

Pang Shanshan, Curran Sean P

Abstract excerpt

A recent study reported that longevity in Caenorhabditits elegans can be inherited over several generations. This is probably achieved through the following epigenetic mechanism: inherited demethylated histones at some central loci, such as miRNA, transcription factors or signaling regulators aff...
