Inferences from epigenetic information in an ecological context: a case study of early-life environmental effects on DNA methylation in zebra finches

23 Jul 2026

Abstract excerpt

DNA methylation (DNAm) plays a key role in mediating phenotypic responses to environmental variation. Various approaches exist to link DNAm variation to phenotypes, ranging from single-nucleotide resolution to the development of composite indexes ('epigenetic clocks'). Here, we discuss the conceptual differences between these approaches through a case study using whole-genome, longitudinal DNAm data from adult...
