piRNAs Can Trigger a Multigenerational Epigenetic Memory in the Germline of C. elegans
Transgenerational effects have wide-ranging implications for human health, biological adaptation, and evolution; however, their mechanisms and biology remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that a germline nuclear small RNA/chromatin pathway can maintain stable inheritance for many generatio...
