Quail transgenerational epigenetics. CARAMEL

Recent studies revealed that non-genetic inheritance was probably present in avian species. In one of them, performed in japanese quails, fertilised eggs were injected with an endocrine disruptor (genistein) and after three generations without any other injection, several traits were impacted by the ancestor treatment such as the reproduction and the behaviour. The objective of this study is to compare the blood DNA methylation of the third generation between control and treated lines.
