Patterns of Population Epigenomic Diversity in Arabidopsis thaliana (Methyl-Seq)

Natural epigenetic variation provides a source for the generation of phenotypic diversity, but to understand its contribution to phenotypic diversity, its interaction with genetic variation requires further investigation. Overall design: MethylC-seq from naturally-occurring Arabidopsis accessions天然表观遗传变异（epigenetic variation）是表型多样性产生的重要来源之一，但要阐明其对表型多样性的贡献，其与遗传变异（genetic variation）之间的相互作用仍需进一步探究。实验总体设计：对自然来源的拟南芥（Arabidopsis）生态型进行甲基化C测序（MethylC-seq）。
