I remember researchers at the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle were showing results in 2011 on traits inherited epigenetically from their fathers in locations in the genome where histones were still present. (That is, not more tightly packaged by protamines, which discard a lot of epigenetic information.) The point is that Lamarckian inheritance is stronger than we’ve imagined in our DNA-centric perspective. Of course, inheritance through small RNAs is new and exciting, but they aren’t the first mechanism for paternal inheritance outside of DNA sequence. I’m glad the press is starting to hear, but this isn’t news to anyone in the field.
