DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification that has been repeatedly implied in
organismal adaptation. However, many previous studies that have linked DNA methylation …

DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification that is widely conserved across
animal genomes. It is widely accepted that DNA methylation patterns can change in a …

Background The parthenogenetic marbled crayfish (Procambarus virginalis) is a novel
species that has rapidly invaded and colonized various different habitats. Adaptation to …

Abstract Characterization of DNA methylation patterns in the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea
gigas, indicates that this epigenetic mechanism plays an important functional role in gene …

The DNA methylation landscape is dynamically patterned during development and distinct
methylation patterns distinguish healthy from diseased cells. However, whether tissue …

Epigenetic modifications, like DNA methylation, generate phenotypic diversity in fish and
ultimately lead to adaptive evolutionary processes. Euryhaline marine species that migrate …

DNA methylation in invertebrates seems to play a different role as in mammals and its
evolutionary conservation among invertebrates is unclear. Only two studies describe …

DNA methylation is crucial for normal development and cellular differentiation in many large-
genome eukaryotes. The small tropical freshwater fish Danio rerio (zebrafish) has recently …

DNA methylation plays a vital role in tissue development and differentiation in eukaryotes.
Epigenetic studies have been seldom conducted in the extremely diverse and evolutionarily …

Background DNA methylation is one of the most important epigenetic modifications of
eukaryotic genomes and is believed to play integral roles in diverse biological processes …
