Mutation and epimutation load in haploid and diploid life forms.

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 Mar 2005

Stenøien Hans K, Pedersen Bård

Abstract excerpt

Epigenetic differentiation is the potentially heritable changes in levels of gene expression not caused by DNA sequence changes. Here, a classification scheme of mutations and epimutations is introduced, enabling a simple analysis of mutation and epimutation load in haploid and diploid organisms. It is found that the deleterious effect of epimutations is mainly determined by epimutation rate and degree of...
