Abstract excerpt

Epigenetic inheritance is generally less stable across generations than DNA sequence-based heredity. One common form of epigenetic inheritance, found in plants, fungi, and animals, is the transgenerational memory of gene silencing mediated by small RNAs. These small RNAs can be amplified through RNA-dependent RNA polymerases, thus maintaining the silenced state across multiple generations. Such molecular...
