Abstract excerpt
As populations diverge, genetic differences accumulate across the genome. Although genetic differentiation is well documented, evolutionary change in epigenetic modifications is less well understood. Here, we integrate genomic and methylomic data from 168 barn swallows (Hirundo rustica) to examine the relationship between genetic and epigenetic population divergence at the resolution of CpG islands and single CpG...
