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 …

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 is an epigenetic mark that living beings have used in different
environments. The MTases family catalyzes DNA methylation. This process is conserved …

Atrazine is presently one of the most abundantly used herbicides in the United States, and a
common contaminant of natural water bodies and drinking waters in high-use areas …

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 …

Population epigenetics explores the extent of epigenetic variation and its dynamics in
natural populations encountering changing environmental conditions. In contrast to …

Methylation of cytosines in the CG context (mCG) is the most abundant DNA modification in
vertebrates that plays crucial roles in cellular differentiation and identity. After fertilization …

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 …

Accumulating evidence shows that environmental changes can affect population sex ratios
through epigenetic regulation of gene expression in species where sex depends on both …

The roles of DNA methylation in invertebrates are poorly characterized, and critical data are
missing for the phylum Annelida. We fill this knowledge gap by conducting the first genome …
