Epigenetic variation in asexually reproducing organisms.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Mar 2014

Verhoeven Koen J F, Preite Veronica

Abstract excerpt

The role that epigenetic inheritance can play in adaptation may differ between sexuals and asexuals because (1) the dynamics of adaptation differ under sexual and asexual reproduction and the opportunities offered by epigenetic inheritance may affect these dynamics differently; and (2) in asexual reproduction epigenetic reprogramming mechanisms that are associated with meiosis can be bypassed, which could promote...
