DNA methylation patterns reveal significant transgenerational effects in quails, indicating epigenetic influence.
Evidence shows that environmental factors may alter DNA methylation across generations in quails.
Transgenerational study analyzed the impact of phenotypic changes linked to DNA methylation in quails.
Findings highlight the need for more comprehensive studies to unravel genetic versus epigenetic inheritance mechanisms.
