Beyond Genes

Beyond Genes is the Online Conference on Non-Genetic Inheritance. The debut conference was held over the course of 6 sessions, October - December 2020. Many phenotypes depend not only on germline DNA sequence, but also regulatory mechanisms present within germ cells, including what is known as the epigenome. Mounting evidence suggests that a whole germ cell approach, including epigenetic and other non-genetic factors, may be critical for a robust understanding of origins of many traits and pathologies considered heritable or innate. Featuring leading researchers, this conference explored how non-genetic factors (and de novo germline mutagenesis) contribute to heritable pathology, and probes key questions for research and public health. Most of the presentations were recorded and are uploaded here. See the entire program at BeyondGenes.org. Twitter: @BeyondGenes
