• A recently published article in Genome Biology attempts to refute important aspects of the phenomenon of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance (TEI). An alternative explanation of the data is offered here, showing that TEI is indeed not contradicted.Please see related Correspondence article: www.dx.doi.org/10.1186/s13059-016-0981-5 and related Research article: http://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13059-015-0619-z.
