We combine intergenerational stress exposure experiments with RNAseq and ATACseq to investigate directionality versus stochasticity of effects on the parental contribution. Many triggers cause intergenerational effects, but these are often non-overlapping for distinct stimuly. We wonder whether directional adaptation through intergenerational effects is the exception, and epigenetic bet-hedging is the norm, particularly in multiparous species.
