Epigenetic modifications to DNA influence observable outcomes. Such modifications are dynamic and have the potential to be influenced by the environment, however the functional relevance of this remains the subject of some debate. I will explore the contribution of epigenetics to variation between individuals and whether or not epigenetic effects are heritable across generations.

This talk was part of the Fisher in the 21st Century conference, held at Gonville & Caius College on April 21 and 22, 2022
