Epigenetics and phenotypic variation in mammals.

Mammalian genome : official journal of the International Mammalian Genome Society - 1 May 2006

Peaston Anne E, Whitelaw Emma

Abstract excerpt

What causes phenotypic variation? By now it is clear that phenotype is a result of the interaction between genotype and environment, in addition to variation not readily attributable to either. Epigenetic phenomena associated with phenotypic variation at the biochemical, cellular, tissue, and organism level are now well recognized and are likely to contribute to the "intangible variation" alluded to. While it is...
