Epigenome-associated phenotypic acclimatization to ocean acidification in a reef-building coral
There are increasing concerns that the current rate of climate change might outpace the
ability of reef-building corals to adapt to future conditions. Work on model systems has …

Genome, transcriptome and methylome sequencing of a primitively eusocial wasp reveal a greatly reduced DNA methylation system in a social insect
Comparative genomics of social insects has been intensely pursued in recent years with the
goal of providing insights into the evolution of social behaviour and its underlying genomic …

DNA methylation in social insects: how epigenetics can control behavior and longevity
In eusocial insects, genetically identical individuals can exhibit striking differences in
behavior and longevity. The molecular basis of such phenotypic plasticity is of great interest …
