Developmental systems of plasticity and trans-generational epigenetic inheritance in nematodes.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Aug 2017

Serobyan Vahan, Sommer Ralf J

Abstract excerpt

Several decades of research provided detailed insight into how genes control development and evolution, whereas recent studies have expanded this purely genetic perspective by presenting strong evidence for environmental and epigenetic influences. We summarize examples of phenotypic plasticity and trans-generational epigenetic inheritance in the nematode model organisms Pristionchus pacificus and Caenorhabditis...
