Genetic and epigenetic interplay allows rapid transgenerational adaptation to metal pollution in zebrafish

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Despite still being a matter of debate, there is growing evidence that pollutant-induced epigenetic changes can be propagated across generations. Whereas such modifications could have long-lasting effects on organisms and even on population, environmentally relevant data from long-term exposure combined with follow-up through multiple generations remain scarce for non-mammalian species. We performed a...
