Epigenetic inheritance: a contributor to species differentiation?

DNA and cell biology - 1 Oct 2012

Boffelli Dario, Martin David I K

Abstract excerpt

Multiple epigenetic states can be associated with the same genome, and transmitted through the germline for generations, to create the phenomenon of epigenetic inheritance. This form of inheritance is mediated by complex and highly diverse components of the chromosome that associate with DNA, control its transcription, and are inherited alongside it. But, how extensive, and how stable, is the information carried...
