Kotaja Lab

Three weeks ago our doctoral researcher Samuli attended the Epigenetic Inheritance Symposium in Zurich, Switzerland. He got to present the first part of his PhD - about intergenerational effects of paternal diet on offspring metabolic health - with a poster and a 15 minute talk. Well done!

Embryonic Signatures of Intergenerational Inheritance across Paternal Environments and Genetic Backgrounds The paternal preconception environment has been implicated as a modulator of phenotypic traits and disease risk in F1 offspring. However, the prevalence and mechanisms of such intergenerational epigen...

Even more, how do paternal genetics & ages interact with exposures to affect F1 outcome?

We tested this systematically, with intriguing findings & some cautionary tales🧵...
