Constitutive and variable patterns of genome-wide DNA methylation in populations from spatial-environmental range extremes of the bumble beeBombus vosnesenskii
Abstract:Unraveling molecular mechanisms of adaptation to complex environments is crucial to understanding tolerance of abiotic pressures and responses to climatic change. Epigenetic variation is increasingly recognized as a mechanism that can facilitate rapid responses to changing environmental cues. To investigate variation in genetic and epigenetic diversity at spatial and thermal extremes, we use whole genome and methylome sequencing to generate a high-resolution map of DNA methylation in the bumble beeBombus vosne… Show more
