Genome-wide and gene-specific DNA methylation across developmental stages in Pogonomyrmex californicus: A socially polymorphic ant. [PDF]

open access: yesInsect Mol Biol
Comparison between developmental stages (larvae, pupae, worker) in Pogonomyrmex californicus revealed significant stage‐specific differences in Gene Body Methylated frequencies. Methylation sites were highly correlated between WGBS and ONT in P. californicus Genome‐wide methylation was low (~3%) and highly clustered within gene bodies (GBM), especially
