Abstract excerpt
Plant DNA methylation changes occur hundreds to thousands of times faster than DNA mutations and can be transmitted transgenerationally, making them useful for studying population-scale patterns in clonal or selfing species. However, a state-of-the-art approach to use them for inferring population genetic processes and demographic histories is lacking. To address this, we compare evolutionary signatures extracted...
