Patterns of DNA Methylation in Development, Division of Labor and Hybridization in an Ant with Genetic Caste Determination
BACKGROUND: DNA methylation is a common regulator of gene expression, including acting as a regulator of developmental events and behavioral changes in adults. Using the unique system of genetic caste determination in Pogonomyrmex barbatus, we were able to document changes in DNA methylation during...
