Regulatory and evolutionary impact of DNA methylation in two songbird species and their naturally occurring F1 hybrids

Abstract Background Regulation of transcription by DNA methylation in 5’-CpG-3’ context is a widespread mechanism allowing differential expression of genetically identical cells to persist throughout development. Consequently, differences in DNA methylation can reinforce variation in gene expression...
