Much adaptive evolutionary change is underlain by mutational variation in regions of the genome that regulate gene expression rather than in the coding regions of the genes themselves. An understanding of the role of gene expression variation in faci

Epigenetic mediation of the onset of reproduction in a songbird

Autor: Kees van Oers, Veronika N. Laine, Arild Husby, Irene Verhagen, Melanie Lindner, Marcel E. Visser, Heidi M. Viitaniemi

Climate change significantly impacts natural populations, particularly phenology traits, like the seasonal onset of reproduction in birds. This impact is mainly via plastic responses in phenology traits to changes in the environment, but the molecula

Epigenetic mechanisms can alter gene expression without a change in the nucleotide sequence and are increasingly recognized as important mechanisms that can generate phenotypic diversity. Most of our current knowledge regarding the origin and role of

Spatial Dynamics of Evolving Dosage Compensation in a Young Sex Chromosome System

Autor: Roland Schultheiß, Erica H. Leder, Heidi M. Viitaniemi

Publikováno v: Genome Biology and Evolution

The loss of Y-linked genes during sex chromosome evolution creates a potentially deleterious low gene dosage in males. Recent studies have reported different strategies of dosage compensation. Unfortunately, most of these studies investigated taxa wi
