Called “Lamarckian Inheritance,” the theory suggests that those experiences can even be passed down to future generations.

A single exposure to a toxic fungicide during pregnancy can increase the risk of disease for 20 subsequent generations—with inherited health problems worsening many generations after exposure. Those ...

The latest study from the Sharma Lab makes the mechanisms of how epigenetic information is established in sperm cells, and how that encoding affects offspring health, a little less of a scientific ...

Studies find genetic, epigenetic, and transgenerational effects from pesticide exposure, particularly during early life.

Can 100-Year-Old Research Lead to the Discovery of Novel Mechanisms of Inheritance? International Team to Reevaluate and Recreate Experiments from Vienna’s Legendary Biologische Versuchsanstalt, Led ...

A new study from Washington State University reports that a single pregnancy exposure to a toxic fungicide can raise disease ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...
