The Role of Stochasticity in the Origin of Epigenetic Variation in Animal Populations.

Integrative and comparative biology - 16 Dec 2020

Biwer C, Kawam B, Chapelle V, Silvestre F

Abstract excerpt

Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation modulate gene expression in a complex fashion are consequently recognized as among the most important contributors to phenotypic variation in natural populations of plants, animals, and microorganisms. Interactions between genetics and epigenetics are multifaceted and epigenetic variation stands at the crossroad between genetic and environmental variance, which make...
