Eleven researchers from Texas A&M University, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill received the second annual Rogers/Huang Medal for Research Collaboration, awarded by the Hagler Institute for Advanced Study. The recognized paper, “Non-Mendelian inheritance of DNA methylation patterns in mice,” reveals groundbreaking findings in genetics, indicating that about 7% of epigenetic traits are inherited differently than classical Mendelian laws suggest. The award includes a $10,000 monetary prize shared among the authors, alongside physical medals and an invitation to the 2027 Hagler Institute Gala for recognition. This medal aims to promote collaborative research that includes Hagler Institute fellows and Texas A&M students.
