Horizontal and vertical transmission of transgenerational memories via the <i>Cer1</i> transposon
2020-12-29
Abstract excerpt
Animals face both external and internal dangers: pathogens threaten from the environment, and unstable genomic elements threaten from within. Previously, we discovered that C. elegans protects itself from pathogens by “reading” bacterial small RNAs and using this information to both induce avoidance and transmit memories for several generations. Here we found that these memories can be transferred to naïve animal...
