Abstract
Although mounting evidence in mammals suggests that certain ancestral environmental exposures can influence the phenotype in future generations, mechanisms underlying such intergenerational information transfer remain unclear. A recent report suggests that RNA isolated from sperm can inform offspring of a father's history of early life trauma (Gapp et al., 2014).Entities:
