How could #DNAmethylation contribute to #mutation and #speciation in #whitefish species complexes? We explore this and more in our new #PrePrint!
Considerable #genetic and #epigenetic divergence between benthic-limnetic species
Enrichment of SNPs at CpG sites - methylation-induced #mutagenesis?
Also enriched overlaps between high #FST #SNPs and #DMLs - possible #GeneticAssimilation?
With amazing collaboration from @clairemerot @eric_normandeau and others
