Evolution of DNA Methylation across Insects.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Mar 2017

Bewick Adam J, Vogel Kevin J, Moore Allen J, Schmitz Robert J

Abstract excerpt

DNA methylation contributes to gene and transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes, and therefore has been hypothesized to facilitate the evolution of plastic traits such as sociality in insects. However, DNA methylation is sparsely studied in insects. Therefore, we documented patterns of DNA methylation across a wide diversity of insects. We predicted that underlying enzymatic machinery is concordant with patterns...
