Paternal diet defines offspring chromatin state and intergenerational obesity. Cell. 2014 Dec 4;159(6):1352-64. PMID: 25480298.
From the abstract: "... We present a Drosophila model of paternal-diet-induced intergenerational metabolic reprogramming (IGMR) and identify genes required for its encoding in offspring. ... Critically, we find evidence that a similar system may regulate obesity susceptibility and phenotype variation in mice and humans. The findings provide insight into the mechanisms underlying intergenerational metabolic reprogramming and carry profound implications for our understanding of phenotypic variation and evolution."
