Breeding scheme and maternal small RNAs affect the efficiency of transgenerational inheritance of a paramutation in mice

Paramutations result from interactions between two alleles at a single locus, whereby one induces a heritable change in the other. Although common in plants, paramutations are rarely studied in animals. Here, we report a new paramutation mouse model, in which the paramutant allele was induced by an...
