Bain, S.A. 2016 Epigenetic mechanisms underlying Paternal Genome Elimination in Planococcus citri (Risso) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae). XIV International Symposium on Scale Insect Studies University of Catania Catania 106 pp.

Notes: Here we study the parent-of-origin specific epigenetic modifications involved using whole genome bisulphite sequencing and immuno staining for histone modifications throughout development. DNMT gene expression (genes involved in DNA methylation) was also investigated. These data help to understand how paternal and maternal chromosomes are distinguished in order to allow elimination of only those paternally inherited by sons.
