Abstract excerpt
The last several years have seen an increasing number of examples of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance, in which phenotypes are inherited for three or more generations without changes to the underlying DNA sequence. One model system that has been particularly useful for studying transgenerational epigenetic inheritance is C. elegans. Their short generation time and hermaphroditic reproduction have allowed...
