Etymology: From para- + mutagenic.

  1. Relating to, or causing paramutation

    “The results differ from classical examples of paramutation, which is a phenomenon of gene-silencing where a paramutagenic allele has the ability to silence the paramutable allele, and paramutable alleles gain the ability to be paramutagenic.”
