The same mouse study turned up a paramutation in mammals — previously seen only in plants and flies — that copies one parent’s epigenetic state onto the other’s gene

A mouse experiment has revealed that one parent’s epigenetic methylation pattern can rewrite the matching gene inherited from the other parent, a phenomenon called paramutation that had been confirmed only in plants and insects until recently. The finding, centered on the Capn11 locus, shows that DNA methylation states can spread between alleles across generations in […]
