Quantitative epigenetics and evolution.

Heredity - 1 Sept 2018

Banta Joshua A, Richards Christina L

Abstract excerpt

Epigenetics refers to chemical modifications of chromatin or transcribed DNA that can influence gene activity and expression without changes in DNA sequence. The last 20 years have yielded breakthroughs in our understanding of epigenetic processes that impact many fields of biology. In this review, we discuss how epigenetics relates to quantitative genetics and evolution. We argue that epigenetics is important...
