Epigenetic-Genetic Coupling and Understanding the Molecular and Cellular Basis of Lamarckian Inheritance

2026-01-30

Abstract excerpt

This critical and selective review synthesizes the accumulating body of biological evidence supporting a process we term epigenetic–genetic coupling as a mechanistic basis for Lamarckian inheritance of somatically acquired adaptations. We propose that evolutionary processes in mammals and higher vertebrates can involve deaminase-driven, reverse transcriptase–mediated, RNA-templated targeted homologous recombinatio...
