Epigenetics and drug addiction: predisposition, chronic use, relapse and treatment

For those who have not experienced drug addiction, it can be easy to view the disease as a choice—but research shows that epigenetics plays an important role.

Mouse Sperm on a Counting Chamber
Epigenetic alteration of the young dark matter in sperm worsens fertility across two successive generations

Loss of DNA methylation at transposable elements in sperm is associated with decreased sperm function in the offspring.
