Abstract excerpt
DNA methylation is an important epigenomic modification that significantly influences various cellular and organismal functions. In this study, we investigate the methylome of the small hive beetle, Aethina tumida. Our analysis reveals an average of 58,306 CpG methylation marks per beetle, representing approximately 0.99% of the genome's total CpGs. Notably, 85.4% of these methylation marks are located within...
