Transgenerational Inheritance: Perpetuating RNAi.
Reversible changes in gene expression independent of the genetic code can be transmitted from one generation to the next via poorly understood mechanisms. In worms, a histone-modifying enzyme is necessary to keep small RNA-guided transgenerational gene silencing in check.
متن کاملTransgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance
Recent fi ndings in the emerging fi eld of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance suggest that the lifestyle choices and experiences of an individual have biological implications for offspring not yet conceived. Studies show that diet, drugs, and even social experiences can lead to life-long changes in gene expression. Some changes in gene expression are passed down to future generations. The...

متن کاملSperm-Mediated Transgenerational Inheritance
Spermatozoa of virtually all species can spontaneously take up exogenous DNA or RNA molecules and internalize them into nuclei. In this article I review evidence for a key role of a reverse transcriptase (RT) activity, encoded by LINE-1 retrotransposons, in the fate of the internalized nucleic acid molecules and their implication in transgenerational inheritance. LINE-1-derived RT, present in s...
متن کاملTransgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance in Animals
with abiotic and biotic components of their surroundings. Whereas many and perhaps most of the encounters pass with transient changes at the molecular and metabolic levels, some have a profound impact on the phenotypic appearance of an organism and, more importantly, on the phenotypic appearance of their progeny. Since genetic changes are rare and random in nature, their influence on species or...
