Sarkies, P. 2021 DNA methylation and sexual dimorphism: New insights from mealybugs. Molecular Ecology DOI: 10.1111/mec.16243
Keywords:
Notes: In this issue of Molecular Ecology, Bain et al. (2021), thoroughly characterize mealybug methylation, exploring its potential functions in gene expression and the spectacular sexual dimorphism that is a characteristic of this species. Their results provide new insights into the complex relationship between DNA methylation and gene expression and highlight how rapidly different methylation systems can evolve.
