      Evaluation Summary:

      In humans, extreme stresses, such as famine, can trigger multi-generational physiological responses through altered metabolism. In C. elegans, environmental stresses, such as heat shock, can similarly promote changes in gene expression and physiology. Here, the authors convincingly show that environmental stress can alter small RNA populations in such a manner that can alter gene expression over multiple generations. The work is beginning to tease out some of the mechanisms by which non-genetic information can regulate descendants biology.
