DNA methylation: A source of random variation in natural populations.

Epigenetics - 1 Apr 2011

Massicotte Rachel, Whitelaw Emma, Angers Bernard

Abstract excerpt

Epigenetic processes (e.g., DNA methylation) have been proposed as potentially important evolutionary mechanisms. However, before drawing conclusions about their evolutionary relevance, we need to evaluate the independence of epigenetic variation from genetic variation, as well as the extent of methylation polymorphism in nature. We evaluated these in natural populations of a clonal fish, Chrosomus eos-neogaeus,...
