Beyond Genes

Announcing Biology of Reproduction "Beyond Genes" Special Issue - exploring the role of non-genetic inheritance in human disease. Original research, reviews and commentaries. Many thanks to @weiyanreprod @IsabelleMMansuy @corcesvictor @jillescher mailchi.mp/f3a23dd7fda8/b…

Did you miss the 2021 Epigenetic Inheritance Symposium via @ETH_en and @IsabelleMMansuy? You can see the videos here: video.ethz.ch/play/a2684970-… #epigenetics #germcells #heritability

Summer Update: 3 free webinars in June/July relating to germ cell exposures; new & notable papers; plus June 18 deadline for abstracts for @emgsus annual meeting #sperm #mutagenesis #germcells #EDCs- mailchi.mp/1ecaca050b9a/s…

2021 Escher Fund grant program announced; New & notable papers. Grants focus on germ cell and heritable impacts of general anesthesia. #GeneticToxicology #Epigenetics #Mutagenesis #Sperm #Oocytes - mailchi.mp/8f1fd7cdfc32/2…

Congratualtions Cecilie - well deserved. THnak you for bringing the @RHINESSA1 team together to investigate these important effects @medofak_uib

(1/2) We were asked by the Journal of Developmental Biology to share our views on the Weismann Barrier and what is left of it in the face of advances in transgenerational epigenetics inheritance. mdpi.com/2221-3759/8/4/…

Huge congratulations and thanks to the BeyondGenes organizers and @JillEscher for this incredible series. A highly impactful summary of experimental programs with important public health implications. Thanks to all the top-notch presenters and moderators!

It's a wrap! After 42 scientific presentations (!), a closing note from event chair @JillEscher and the video links to BeyondGenes talks, including Session 6 on Heritable Impacts of General Anesthesia. - mailchi.mp/44795c51487d/i…
