Epigenetic variation causes heritable variation in complex traits in the mollusk <i>Biomphalaria glabrata</i> , vector of the human parasite <i>Schistosoma mansoni</i>

2023-07-08

Abstract excerpt

DNA methylation variation may play a role in phenotypic variation as it can be directly affected by the environment and be inherited. DNA methylation variations were introduced into the parasite vector snail Biomphalaria glabrata with low genetic diversity by chemical treatment in F0 and followed over 3 generations using epigenetic recombinant inbred lines (epiRILs). We observed phenotypic variation in complex tr...
