New heredity step as test for cancer at Roscoe B. Jackson Lab

Elizabeth Fekete copied a fertilized ovum from a white mouse into a brown pregnant one, yielding off spring that resemble their conception mother but acquire new traits from the second mother. Early results suggest cancer inheritance may be modified by the maternal environment, offering potential cradle‑to‑care prevention implications.
