Vernalization and Epigenetic Inheritance: A Game of Histones
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Current Biology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2017.10.048
Abstract: Cells inherit molecular 'memories' of previously experienced conditions through epigenetic processes. Recent findings provide insights into the problem of how epigenetic states are inherited through cell division, with intriguing mechanistic links to histone variants and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2022.146229
Abstract: Epigenetic marks in gametes, which both respond to the parental environmental factors and shape offspring phenotypes, are usually positioned to mediate intergenerational or transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. Nonetheless, the mechanisms through which gametic epigenetic signatures encode… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mehy.2017.09.011
Abstract: Traumatizing events are known to have consequences for the victim which may lead to the development of several well-known mental disorders. Recent research has shown that traumatic events may affect not only the victims' lives,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41437-018-0113-y
Abstract: In recent years, the belief that the genetic code is the sole basis for biological inheritance has been challenged by the discovery of trans-generational epigenetic inheritance. Environmentally induced phenotypes can in this way persist for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41556-018-0242-9
Abstract: Animals transmit not only DNA but also other molecules, such as RNA, proteins and metabolites, to their progeny via gametes. It is currently unclear to what extent these molecules convey information between generations and whether… read more here.

Mitotic drive in asymmetric epigenetic inheritance
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Biochemical Society Transactions"
DOI: 10.1042/bst20200267
Abstract: Asymmetric cell division (ACD) produces two daughter cells with distinct cell fates. This division mode is widely used during development and by adult stem cells during tissue homeostasis and regeneration, which can be regulated by… read more here.

Lamarck rises from his grave: parental environmentâinduced epigenetic inheritance in model organisms and humans
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Biological Reviews"
DOI: 10.1111/brv.12322
Abstract: Organisms can change their physiological/behavioural traits to adapt and survive in changed environments. However, whether these acquired traits can be inherited across generations through nonâgenetic alterations has been a topic of debate for over a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/nyas.14992
Abstract: Since the Modern Synthesis, our ideas of evolution have mostly centered on the information encoded in the DNA molecule and their mechanisms of heredity. Increasing evidence, however, suggests that epigenetic mechanisms have the potential to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.aaj2114
Abstract: DNA sequence and inherited gene silencing Cell fate decisions require a gene's transcriptional status, whether on or off, to be stably and heritably maintained over multiple cell generations. For silenced genes, heterochromatin domains are associated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1006900
Abstract: The fidelity of epigenetic inheritance or, the precision by which epigenetic information is passed along, is an essential parameter for measuring the effectiveness of the process. How the precision of the process is achieved or… read more here.
