Abstract excerpt
Individuals respond differently to environmental cues because of inherent variations in genome sequences. This study demonstrates that natural variation in small RNA (sRNA) within embryos epigenetically shapes adaptive neural circuits underlying diverse animal temperature acclimation. We performed comparative genome profiling of Caenorhabditis elegans variants with differential temperature acclimation and...
