The Epigenetics of Gametes and Early Embryos and Potential Long-Range Consequences in Livestock Species—Filling in the Picture With Epigenomic Analyses
The epigenome is dynamic and forged by epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, chromatin remodeling, and non-coding RNA species. Increasing lines of evidence support the concept that certain acquired traits are derived from environmental exposure during early embryonic...
