Maternal Effect Epigenetics is a theoretical framework within environmental epigenetics that specifically accounts for the transmission of epigenetic modifications from mother to offspring during gametogenesis and early embryogenesis, thereby influencing developmental trajectories and phenotypic outcomes independently of the offspring’s own genotype.
