Epigenetic changes to gene pathways linked to male fertility in ex situ black‐footed ferrets
Abstract Environmental variation can influence the reproductive success of species managed under human care and in the wild, yet the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain largely mysterious. Molecular mechanisms such as epigenetic modifiers are important in mediating the timing and progression of reproduction in humans and model organisms, but ...
