epigenetic

For example, perhaps epigenetic changes in nuclear DNA are mediating the pace of replication-induced DNA damage in mitochondria.

And it fits with the epigenetic theory because 9 years old is when your sex cells form.

Delivering signal molecules into the environment, or small molecules capable of otherwise adjusting cell epigenetic state.

As to epigenetic factors, the classic hunter gather lifestyle could be very healthy as long as population numbers stayed low.

Some prominent theories are that some kinds of non-coding DNA are epigenetic controls, but there isn't a complete set of theories yet.

All of that will likewise affect any given organism's epigenetic expression, something else that a naive recording of genetic data will miss.

My old lab in some soon to be published results found a causal link between some chemicals secreted by an organism and epigenetic traits.

I don't know about humans, but in mice, epigenetic obesity has been observed for 6 generations.

This could point to different epigenetic programming depending on conception date, right?

It's pretty likely different people acquire dysfunction from different circumstances, whether traumatic, epigenetic, genetic, or whatever else interacts with brain development.

You seem to be asking whether epigenetic traits are inheritable.

That is, how epigenetic markers are inherited isn't very clear.

The "information" for the epigenetic marker isn't being passed down, just the machinery is.

What's next, "Diet and exercise forecast better physical outcomes but faster epigenetic aging in low-SES youth"?

Any non-primary structures formed by DNA that produces some kind of function is technically "epigenetic".

Transcription factor binding to DNA is technically "epigenetic".

Epigenetic factors can be triggered buy group size (domestication) as well.
