Abstract excerpt
All known heritable phenotypic information in animals is transmitted by direct inheritance of nucleic acids, their covalent modifications or histone modifications that modulate expression of associated genomic regions. Nonetheless, numerous familial traits and disorders cannot be attributed to known heritable molecular factors. Here we identify amyloid-like protein structures that are stably inherited in...
