Parents' emotional trauma may change their children's biology

Interesting stuff.

Couple of points:

  • I wonder if there will be further discoveries of epigenetic changes if (when?) other mechanisms are found (i.e other than DNA methylation and non-coding RNA)
  • They injected RNA from traumitised mice into fertilised eggs and saw negative behavioral effects....I wonder if there would be an opposite effect if they injected RNA from untraumitised mice into the fertilised eggs of those with a traumitised lineage.
