Lecture
Epigenetics: Hereditary Transmission
Description
This lecture covers the concept of epigenetics and its role in hereditary transmission, focusing on changes in DNA methylation and histone modifications that can be passed on to offspring. It discusses the inheritance of hetero- and euchromatin distinctions, the role of barrier and insulator elements in chromatin stability, and the impact of environmental factors on gene expression across generations. The lecture also explores studies involving poisoning pregnant rodents with pesticides to analyze DNA methylation and health outcomes in multiple generations.
