Michael Skinner's claim that chemicals can cause changes to gene expression that persist across multiple generations of animals has stirred excitement — and outrage.

We predicted a link between gene expression evolution across species and the degree of sexual selection, but this is the first statistical evidence for it and shows how powerful sexual selection can be in leading to major changes in how a gene is expressed.»

The most significant changes occurred in a gene called RbAp48, whose expression declined steadily with aging across the study subjects.
