Is the case for epigenetics overstated (especially transgenerational epigenetic inheritance)?
I recall hearing some extraordinary claims some 10 years ago about mice passing on everything from obesity to anxiety to their children through the process of DNA methylation. Ever since, I haven't heard much follow up. Were those claims debunked or something?
Any experts in the field care to weigh in?
