Transgenerational inheritance: Models and mechanisms of non-DNA sequence-based inheritance.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 7 Oct 2016

Miska Eric A, Ferguson-Smith Anne C

Abstract excerpt

Heritability has traditionally been thought to be a characteristic feature of the genetic material of an organism-notably, its DNA. However, it is now clear that inheritance not based on DNA sequence exists in multiple organisms, with examples found in microbes, plants, and invertebrate and vertebrate animals. In mammals, the molecular mechanisms have been challenging to elucidate, in part due to difficulties in...
