One-day meeting on transgenerational epigenetic inheritance

The CNRS Research Networks GDR ADN and GDR ImaBio together with Sorbonne University are organizing in Paris on november monday 19th a one-day meeting on transgenerational epigenetic inheritance.

Why is the inheritance of epigenetic characters so remarkable in plants and so controversial in mammals? The aim of this one-day meeting is to identify the main differences between species in terms of inheritance mechanisms, within an evolutionary perspective. An additional objective is to generate modeling initiatives among the nucleome community.

International leaders in this field will present their current opinion on this hot and much debated topic.
