Associations of early social experience with offspring DNA methylation and later life stress phenotype

Z. M. Laubach, J. R. Greenberg, J. W. Turner, T. Montgomery, M. O. Pioon, L. Smale, R. Cavalcante, K. R. Padmanabhan, C. Lalancette, B. vonHoldt, C. D. Faulk, D. C. Dolinoy, K. E. Holekamp, W. Perng

The paper examines how early social experiences in spotted hyenas affect DNA methylation and stress phenotype later in life, finding associations between social connectedness and DNA methylation biomarkers near inflammation-related genes.
