The evolution of epitype.

The Plant cell - 1 Jun 2010

Meagher Richard B

Abstract excerpt

The epitype of a single gene or entire genome is determined by cis-linked differences in chromatin structure. I explore the hypothesis that "epitype and associated phenotypes evolve by gene duplication, divergence, and subfunctionalization" parallel to models for the evolution of genotype. This hypothesis is dissected by considering the relationship between epigenetic control and phenotype, the phylogenetic...
