Scientists have long known that the DNA code in genes is not the only way to pass genetic traits from parents to offspring. "Epigenetic" marks—chemical modifications to DNA that don't change the DNA ...

Parents pass their genes down to their kids, with a child inheriting about 50% of their genome from each parent. But there is another kind of genetic code known as the epigenome that can also be ...

Traditionally, differences among individuals have been divided into genetic and environmental causes. However, both types of variation can underlie regulatory changes in gene expression — that is, ...

We developed a genome-wide allele-specific methylation framework using long-read sequencing to characterize intergenerational epigenetic inheritance in mice. This framework revealed non-Mendelian ...

Genetic information in the DNA and modifications, such as DNA methylation, define the epigenetic landscape and phenotype and show both Mendelian and non-Mendelian heredity. Scientists have long known ...
