Cellular Epigenetic Inheritance in the Twenty-First Century (2011)

unapi

This chapter provides a brief overview of the history of cellular epigenetic inheritance. Epigenetic inheritance is the transmission of phenotypic variations that are not dependent on variations in DNA base sequence to subsequent generations of cells or organisms. The chapter outlines the ubiquity of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance and discusses how it legitimizes the notion that soft inheritance is part of heredity and evolution.
