Abstract
In this issue, Kazachenka, Bertozzi, and colleagues identify elements in the mouse genome with epigenetic variability between littermates, a phenomenon linked to transmission of phenotypes over generations. This addresses two questions that remained unanswered despite intense speculation: how prevalent are these alleles, and what is their effect, within and across generations?
