While recognizing that non-genetic mechanisms of adaptation such as developmental plasticity and cultural evolution are powerful forces, this review focuses on recent developments related to the detection, classification and interpretation of natural selection in the human genome.

Mar 18, 2021 · Non-genetic mechanisms (histones and DNA modifications, imprinting, paramutation, posttranslational gene silencing, etc.) can lead to the establishment of metastable and stable phenotypic states that can be inherited upon cell division and propagated through many cell generations.

Oct 8, 2020 · This Perspective discusses how therapeutic resistance is not only driven by genetic evolution but often involves non-genetic adaptive mechanisms that are intimately linked.

The prevalence and diverse array of non-genetic resistance mechanisms pose a new challenge to the field that requires innovative strategies to monitor and counteract these adaptive processes. In this Perspective we discuss the key principles of non-genetic therapy resistance in cancer.

Feb 2, 2020 · Drug resistance can arise through purely non-genetic changes, purely genetic changes, initial non-genetic changes then genetic changes, or non-genetic changes within a particular genotype. Cancer cells will use the adaptive pathway that results in the most rapid or highest degree of drug resistance.
