Epigenetics, plasticity, and evolution: How do we link epigenetic change to phenotype?

Journal of experimental zoology. Part B, Molecular and developmental evolution - 1 Jun 2014

Duncan Elizabeth J, Gluckman Peter D, Dearden Peter K

Abstract excerpt

Epigenetic mechanisms are proposed as an important way in which the genome responds to the environment. Epigenetic marks, including DNA methylation and Histone modifications, can be triggered by environmental effects, and lead to permanent changes in gene expression, affecting the phenotype of an organism. Epigenetic mechanisms have been proposed as key in plasticity, allowing environmental exposure to shape...
