More than DNA methylation: does pleiotropy drive the complex pattern of evolution of <i>Dnmt1</i> ?

2019-10-30

Abstract excerpt

DNA methylation is an important chromatin modification that can stably alter gene expression in cells and maintain genome integrity in plants and vertebrates. The function of DNA methylation outside of these well-studied systems, however, is unclear. Insects, in particular, represent an understudied group. Variation in the level of DNA methylation and gains and losses in the maintenance methyltransferase, DNMT1, a...
