The hypothesis that epigenetic mechanisms of gene expression regulation have two main
roles in vertebrate sex is presented. First, and within a given generation, by contributing to …

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

The evolutionary significance of epigenetic inheritance is controversial. While epigenetic
marks such as DNA methylation can affect gene function and change in response 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 …

Several studies have demonstrated lower fitness of salmonids born and reared in a hatchery
setting compared to those born in nature, yet broad-scale genome-wide genetic differences …

Highlights•Epigenetic transcriptional regulation allows for maintenance of stable expression
