Epigenetic mechanisms (such as DNA methylation and histone modification) regulate gene expression, and during cloning the epigenetic memory of the somatic cell nucleus is not completely erased, which may lead to differences in the traits of cloned animals.

UnverifiedThe RNA world hypothesis holds that before the emergence of DNA and proteins, RNA molecules simultaneously performed the dual functions of storing genetic information and catalyzing reactions.69% similarUnverifiedNon-coding regions influence cell behavior by regulating gene expression, determining when, in which cell types, and at what intensity genes are switched on or off.65% similarUnverifiedA 2019 study by the Rechavi team published in Cell showed that simply changing the endogenous small RNA production in the nematode brain could alter offspring's ability to find food, with the effect lasting three generations and the mechanism achieved through influencing saga-2 gene expression in the germline.65% similarUnverifiedRechavi emphasizes that how the RNA transgenerational transmission mechanism operates in mammals, especially humans, is currently completely unknown and still belongs to the realm of science fiction.65% similarUnverifiedDirected evolution experiments or computational optimization often introduce a large number of substitutions into a sequence, which may inadvertently erase the protein's watermark signal.62% similar
