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