The earliest indications for paternally induced transgenerational effects from the
environment to future generations were based on a small number of long-term …

Several studies have proved that DNA methylation affects regulation of gene expression and
development. Epigenome-wide studies have reported variation in methylation patterns …

Epigenetics increasingly occupies a pivotal position in our understanding of inheritance,
natural selection and, perhaps, even evolution. A survey of the PubMed database, however …

Genomes of invertebrates and vertebrates exhibit highly divergent patterns of DNA
methylation. Invertebrate genomes tend to be sparsely methylated, and DNA methylation is …

A fundamental initiative for evolutionary biologists is to understand the molecular basis
underlying phenotypic diversity. A long-standing hypothesis states that species-specific traits …

DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic mark in plants and many animals. How parental
alleles interact in progeny to influence the epigenome is poorly understood. We analyzed …

Insecticide use is pervasive as a selective force in modern agroecosystems. Insect
herbivores exposed to these insecticides have been able to rapidly evolve resistance to …

Freshwater ecosystems are amongst the most threatened ecosystems on Earth. Currently,
climate change is one of the most important drivers of freshwater transformation and its …

In this study, we investigated how an emerging RNA virus evolves, interacts, and adapts to
populations of a novel host species with defects in epigenetically controlled plant defense …

The hallmarks of cancer have been the focus of much research and have influenced the
development of risk models for radiation-induced cancer. However, natural defenses against …
