Recent insights in evolutionary biology have shed light on epigenetic variation that interacts
with genetic variation to convey heritable information. An important characteristic of …

The scopes related to the interplay between stem cells and the immune system are broad
and range from the basic understanding of organism's physiology and ecology to …

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 …

Epigenetic processes such as variation in DNA methylation may promote phenotypic
plasticity and the rapid acclimatization of species to environmental change. The extent to …

Background Epigenetic regulatory mechanisms are divergent across the animal kingdom,
yet these mechanisms are not well studied in non-model organisms. Unique features of …

The N 6-methylation of RNA adenosines (N 6-methyladenosine, m6A) is an important
regulator of gene expression with critical implications in vertebrate and insect development …

Increasing evidence confirms that histone modification plays a critical role in preserving long-
term immunological memory. Immune priming is a novel form of immunological memory …

Abstract Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive autoinflammatory
disease caused by mutations in the MEFV (ME diterranean F e V er) gene that affects people …

High mortalities and highly variable results during the subsequent development of post-thaw
larvae have been widely considered as key issues restricting the application of …

Aquatic toxicology is a multidisciplinary, multifaceted field of study that seeks to understand
how anthropogenic and natural chemicals interact in marine and freshwater environments …
