The nature of evidence for and against epigenetic inheritance.

Abstract:

:Not so fast. The Iqbal et. al. study and the associated Whitelaw commentary highlight the appropriately high standards of study design and interpretation needed to obtain good evidence for or against epigenetic inheritance. Please see related article: www.dx.doi.org/10.1186/s13059-015-0714-1.
