Is epigenetics inherited?
Actually, somatic cells aren't connected to germ cells, although the latter are inherited during reproduction. Am I wrong? If not, I'm wondering to what extent environmental stimulus can epigenetically alter germ cells. I've also heard of two purge waves that would purge the epigenetic markers. Does anyone know more about this? Thanks for your answers 😉
The question cannot be answered as simple as possible, in which epigenetics is differentiated between gametic epigenetics and transgenic epigenetics.
There is no scientific basis for "cleaning waves", so I can't say anything else.
"cleaning waves" is a name from the Max Planck Institute…in this respect there must be a scientific tomblage.
Do you have a source?
Transgenic epigenetics begins gametic, the epigenetic markings last only longer (over several generations)
The difference is therefore only in the durability of the markings
The two cleansing waves should probably be during germ cell development and embryogenesis
Epigenetics is inherited when the markings are durable enough
