Abstract
⺠The epigenome is a primary target of environmentally-induced disruption. ⺠Disruptions of the epigenome result in epimutations. ⺠Epimutations are typically heritable in somatic cell lineages. ⺠Epimutations are typically corrected by germline reprogramming. ⺠Uncorrected epimutations may be transmitted transgenerationally.
