Darwin’s Pangenesis and Its Rediscovery Part A

Darwin’s Pangenesis and its Rediscovery, Volume 101 highlights the findings of Darwin's Pangenesis, an expanded cell and unified theory of heredity and variation that strengthened his theory of evolution and explained the phenomena of life. Now, new advances and the discovery of circulating DNA, mobile RNAs, prions and extracellular vesicles are providing new breakthroughs, thus increasing evidence on the inheritance of acquired characters, graft hybridization, and many other phenomena that pangenesis suggests. Sections of note in this volume include Darwin's graft hybridization and horizontal gene transfer, Darwin's Pangenesis in relation to inherited disease, Darwin's Pangenesis in relation to reversion, regeneration, and more.
