Abstract excerpt
DNA methylation is a key epigenetic mark that impacts gene expression and represses transposable elements in eukaryotes. Numerous examples of cis elements targeted by DNA methylation, particularly at CG sites (mCG), have been reported to be under selective pressure in animals and plants. By contrast, there is limited knowledge of trans regulators of mCG leading to adaptation. Here, a genome-wide association study...
