Studies find genetic, epigenetic, and transgenerational effects from pesticide exposure, particularly during early life.

A single exposure to a toxic fungicide during pregnancy can increase the risk of disease for 20 subsequent generations—with inherited health problems worsening many generations after exposure. Those ...

A single exposure to a toxic fungicide during pregnancy can increase epigenetic disease risk for 20 subsequent generations.

Researchers found that rats exposed in the womb to a fungicide passed increased risks of kidney, prostate, ovarian, and birth ...

Researchers studied rats exposed to a fungicide used primarily in fruit crops and found that a heightened prevalence of disease persisted through 20 generations.

This year’s stories highlight the expanding versatility of genetic techniques and the increasing utility of such research in all life science fields. Our Favorite Genetics Stories of 2022 Our Favorite ...

Ancestral toxins cause disease for 20 generations. Epigenetic health defects in kidney, testis, and ovary intensify over many centuries, impacting evolutionary biology.
