Priming effect of prior IR exposure on DMR induction

Initial gamma irradiation acts as a form of priming; first exposure elicits a DMR response in the following generation but not in the parent generation itself.

Evidence Quote

No DMRs are identified in the parent generation after exposure to IR, indicating a need for an initial exposure that acts as a form of priming

Relationship

Gamma radiation exposure requires generation S1
