Developmental and environmental variation in genomes.

Abstract excerpt

The genetic make-up of an organism, established at fertilization, is not conventionally expected to change during development unless mutation occurs. However, there is actually evidence that considerable variation can arise. Some of these changes may occur in response to the environment. This article reviews such variations in genome size or DNA content (excluding ploidy-level changes). The variation can be...
