Epigenetic diversity of genes with copy number variations among natural populations of the three‐spined stickleback

Abstract Duplicated genes provide the opportunity for evolutionary novelty and adaptive divergence. In many cases, having more gene copies increases gene expression, which might facilitate adaptation to stressful or novel environments. Conversely, overexpression or misexpression of duplicated genes...
