Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) gonad DNA methylation data and analysis

Epigenetic modification, specifically DNA methylation, is one possible mechanism for transgenerational plasticity. Before inheritance of methylation patterns can be characterized we need a better understanding of how environmental change modifies the parental epigenome. Specifically, methylation patterns should be understood in reproductive tissue. We examined the effect of ocean acidification on Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) reproductive tissue.
