Epigenetic pathways are essential in different biological processes and in phenotype-
environment interactions in response to different stressors and they can induce phenotypic …

DNA methylation involves the addition of a methyl group to the fifth carbon of the pyrimidine
cytosine ring (5-methylcytosine, 5mC). 5mC is widespread in vertebrate genomes where it is …

Skates are cartilaginous fish whose body plan features enlarged wing-like pectoral fins,
enabling them to thrive in benthic environments,. However, the molecular underpinnings of …

Understanding the evolutionary and ecological roles of'non-genetic'inheritance (NGI) is
daunting due to the complexity and diversity of epigenetic mechanisms. We draw on insights …

The origin story and emergence of molecular biology is muddled. The early triumphs in
bacterial genetics and the complexity of animal and plant genomes complicate an intricate …

Cytosine DNA methylation (5mC) is a widespread base modification in eukaryotic genomes
with critical roles in transcriptional regulation. In recent years, our understanding of 5mC has …

Imidacloprid (IMI) and thiamethoxam (THM) are ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems. Their
negative effects on parental fish are investigated while intergenerational effects at …

The germline is the only cellular lineage capable of transferring genetic information from one
generation to the next. Intergenerational transmission of epigenetic memory through the …

Cytosine DNA methylation is a highly conserved epigenetic mark in eukaryotes. Although
the role of DNA methylation at gene promoters and repetitive elements has been extensively …

Combining genome assembly with population and functional genomics can provide
valuable insights to development and evolution, as well as tools for species management …
