Abstract excerpt
Genetic variation is generally regarded as a prerequisite for evolution. In principle, epigenetic information inherited independently of DNA sequence can also enable evolution, but whether this occurs in natural populations is unknown. Here we show that single-nucleotide and epigenetic gene body...
