Epigenomics: dissecting hybridization and polyploidization

Genome Biol. 2017 Jun 19;18(1):117. doi: 10.1186/s13059-017-1254-7.

Abstract

Epigenetic profiling in diploid, allopolyploid, and domesticated cotton shows that despite most DNA methylation being conserved and stably inherited, alterations likely due to hybridization and domestication affect gene expression.
