Comparative analysis of genome-scale, base-resolution DNA methylation profiles across 580 animal species

DNA methylation is involved in regulatory processes throughout the animal kingdom. Here, the authors map DNA methylation in 535 vertebrates and 45 invertebrates, establishing a reference dataset for cross-species analysis and exploring epigenetic variation across vertebrate evolution.
