Rapid climate change is placing many marine species at risk of local extinction. Recent
studies show that epigenetic mechanisms (eg DNA methylation, histone modifications) can …

DNA methylation refers to the addition of a methyl group to nucleotides within DNA. As with
other epigenetic endpoints, patterns of DNA methylation are susceptible to alterations due to …

Upon retinal injury, zebrafish Müller glia (MG) transition from a quiescent supportive cell to a
progenitor cell (MGPC). This event is accompanied by the induction of key transcription and …

The spermatozoa and oocyte are very specialized cells which possess the unique ability to
fuse and to produce an embryo. This embryo will develop into a mature organism capable of …

It is widely accepted that the epigenome can act as the link between environmental cues,
both external and internal, to the organism and phenotype by converting the environmental …

Major progress has been made with genomic and genetic studies in aquaculture in the last
decade. However, research on epigenetic regulation of aquaculture traits is still at an early …

The inland silverside, Menidia beryllina, is a euryhaline fish and a model organism in
ecotoxicology. We previously showed that exposure to picomolar (ng/L) levels of endocrine …

Background Early embryonic developmental programs are guided by the coordinated
interplay between maternally inherited and zygotically manufactured RNAs and proteins …

The integration of genomic and environmental influences into methylation patterns to bring
about a phenotype is of central interest in developmental epigenetics, but many details are …

While the goal of most conservation hatchery programs is to produce fish that are genetically
and phenotypically indistinguishable from the wild stocks they aim to restore, there is …
