Changing the epigenetic marks on chromosomes leads to altered gene expression in offspring and in grandoffspring, demonstrating 'transgenerational epigenetic inheritance.' Without altering the genetic code in the DNA, epigenetic modifications can change how genes are expressed, affecting an organism's health and development. The once radical idea that such changes in gene expression can be...
