Oh my gosh, I have 2 of those: heart disease & asthma, even though I've exercised & eaten healthful foods all my life. But I did grow up in poverty.

One hears of epigenetics but i had no idea that it was this pronounced a mechanism. Naturally effects on expression were anticipated but editing of the DNA! This extends to reproduction? Are these effects conserved reproductively?
Could this be considered a form of Lysenkoism?
Will this possibly be upheld on further investigation? Are the results robust? Congratulations to McGill
