DESCRIPTION:There are many examples in nature where inter-individual varia
 bility in life-history traits is exploited as an adaptive strategy. \n\nWe
  have shown that inter-individual variability in stress response genes has
  consequences for the robustness to both genetic and environmental perturb
 ations in Caenorhabditis elegans. \n\nRemarkably\, the genetic homogeneity
  of this nematode points at important underlying non-genetic components.  
 We are currently studying the causes and consequences of stochastic epigen
 etic variability. \n
