DNA methylation across the tree of life, from micro to macro-organism
ABSTRACT DNA methylation is a process in which methyl (CH3) groups are added to the
DNA molecule. The DNA segment does not change in the sequence, but DNA methylation …

Evolution of DNA methylation across insects
DNA methylation contributes to gene and transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes, and
therefore has been hypothesized to facilitate the evolution of plastic traits such as sociality in …
