Transgenerational inheritance is variable across <i>Caenorhabditis</i> worms

2026-04-10

Abstract excerpt

Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance (TEI) allows organisms to express heritable responses to environmental stresses, and can potentially contribute to adaptive evolution. The microbivorous model organism Caenorhabditis elegans is perhaps the best example, as it can learn to avoid pathogenic Pseudomonas bacteria and transmit this learned avoidance to its offspring. However, the extent to which TEI is widespr...
