Metabolic disorders have a large heritable component, and have increased markedly in human populations over the past few generations. Genome-wide association studies of metabolic traits typically fin
DNA methylation is the major repression mechanism for human retrotransposons, such as the Alu family. Here, we have determined the methylation levels associated with 5238 loci belonging to 2 Alu subfa
Genomic DNA was extracted from the livers of 5 22week old male mice, bisulfite converted and sequenced to ~30x coverage. The mice were obtained from two litters from an inbred agouti viable yellow col
The molecular basis of evolutionary change is assumed to be genetic variation. However, growing evidence suggests that epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, may also be involved in evolution
Data from: Preite et al. 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3871) Increased transgenerational epigenetic variation, but not predictable epigenetic variants, after environmental exposure in two apomictic dandelio
