Sebastien sent the revised manuscript again. Must say I am very excited about this study and its implications.
From the abstract.
- The data revealed strong differences between developmental timepoints and between morphs (mainly along the benthic – limnetic axis), both at single CpG sites and in 1000bp-regions. Genes located close to differentially methylated CpG sites were involved in nucleosome assembly, TGF-β regulation, and cell matrix adhesion.
