Paradigm shifts in animal epigenetics: Research on non‐model species leads to new insights into dependencies, functions and inheritance of DNA methylation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "BioEssays"
DOI: 10.1002/bies.202200040
Abstract: Recent investigations with non‐model species and whole‐genome approaches have challenged several paradigms in animal epigenetics. They revealed that epigenetic variation in populations is not the mere consequence of genetic variation, but is a semi‐independent or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41597-019-0252-x
Abstract: AbstractDreissenids are established model species for ecological and ecotoxicological studies, since they are sessile and filter feeder organisms and reflect in situ freshwater quality. Despite this strong interest for hydrosystem biomonitoring, omics data are still… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2017.1320
Abstract: Ever since Darwin, questions about humans have driven sexual selection research. While studies of other organisms are often justified as useful for improving understanding of humans, humans themselves can be useful models. Although humans present… read more here.
