Do you take after your dad’s RNA?
Evidence is growing from rodent studies that sperm carries marks of a father’s life experiences, influencing traits in offspring. Bits of RNA could be the drivers of these epigenetic effects.

Male mice exposed to PFAS (an environmental contaminant) have reduced sperm production but normal sperm viability & motility. Embryos created by IVF with PFAS-treated sperm have disrupted transcriptomes suggesting possible transgenerational effects. www.nature.com/articles/s42...
