Phenotypic diversity and epigenomic variation - The utility of mass spectrometric analysis of DNA methylation.

Abstract excerpt

Epigenomic variation may underlie phenotypic diversity that is not attributable to differences in genomic sequence. Such processes provide an organism the flexibility to respond to changing environmental cues within its lifetime, and perhaps its offspring's lifetime, and would therefore be expect...
