Epigenetics and evolution.

Integrative and comparative biology - 1 Jul 2014

Mendizabal I, Keller T E, Zeng J, Yi Soojin V

Abstract excerpt

Epigenetic mechanisms traditionally have been studied in the domains of development and disease, but they may also play important roles in ecological and evolutionary processes. In this article, we revisit historical as well as recent studies that indicate significant impacts of epigenetic processes on evolution. Our main focus is DNA methylation, which is a prevalent chemical modification of genomic DNA. First,...
