Epimutations: raw material for evolution?

The EMBO journal - 1 Mar 2026

Ganem Nabeel S, Sarkies Peter

Abstract excerpt

Epigenetics is fundamental to cell differentiation as it enables cells with identical genomes to adopt distinct fates. Some epigenetic information can also be transmitted between generations, in a process known as transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. This means that potentially epigenetic differences between individuals could contribute to diversity and thus be acted upon by evolution. These epigenetic...
