Spontaneous epigenetic variation in the Arabidopsis thaliana methylome

Nature, 2011
Heritable epigenetic polymorphisms, such as differential cytosine methylation, can underlie phenotypic variation. Moreover, wild strains of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana differ in many epialleles, and these can influence the expression of nearby genes. However, to understand their role in evolution, it is imperative to ascertain the emergence rate and

Epigenetics and twins: three variations on the theme

Trends in Genetics, 2006
Twin studies have had a key role in the evaluation of heritability, a population-based estimate of the genetic contribution to phenotypic variation. These studies have led to the revelation that most normal and disease phenotypes are to some extent heritable.

The inheritance of directed epigenetic variations

1995
Abstract With classical imprinting, parents transmit to their offspring chromatin marks carrying the stamp of the parent’s sex. The mark is usually transient, and is reversed in the next generation if it passes through the germ line of the opposite sex.

Epigenetic variation and cellular Darwinism

Nature Genetics, 2011
The human genome contains large areas with hypervariable DNA methylation that are associated with deregulation of gene expression. This epigenetic variation may be necessary for differentiation, but it also provides a mechanism for Darwinian evolution at the cellular level that may underlie age-related diseases such as cancer.

Epigenetic variation and environmental change.

Journal of experimental botany, 2016
Environmental conditions can change the activity of plant genes via epigenetic effects that alter the competence of genetic information to be expressed. This may provide a powerful strategy for plants to adapt to environmental change. However, as epigenetic changes do not modify DNA sequences and are therefore reversible, only those epi-mutations that ...
