Once deemed heretical, emerging evidence now supports the notion that the inheritance of
acquired characteristics can occur through ancestral exposures or experiences and that …

While N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) is a well‐known epigenetic modification in bacterial DNA,
it remained largely unstudied in eukaryotes. Recent studies have brought to fore its potential …

Hydroxymethylcytosine, well described in DNA, occurs also in RNA. Here, we show that
hydroxymethylcytosine preferentially marks polyadenylated RNAs and is deposited by Tet in …

Mitochondrial gene expression uses a non‐universal genetic code in mammals. Besides
reading the conventional AUG codon, mitochondrial (mt‐) tRNAM et mediates incorporation …

The amphipod crustacean Parhyale hawaiensis is a blossoming model system for studies of
developmental mechanisms and more recently regeneration. We have sequenced the …

Cells adapt to their environment by linking external stimuli to an intricate network of
transcriptional, post-transcriptional and translational processes. Among these, mechanisms …

Epigenetic mechanisms are an underappreciated and often ignored component of an
organism's response to environmental change and may underlie many types of phenotypic …

The pervasive transcription of genomes into long noncoding RNAs has been amply
demonstrated in recent years and garnered much attention. Similarly, emerging …

Epigenetic silencing and inappropriate activation of gene expression are frequent events
during the initiation and progression of cancer. These events involve a complex interplay …

DNA methylation is one of the epigenetic marks and plays critically important functions
during spermatogenesis in mammals. DNA methylation is catalysed by DNA …
