Probing the evolutionary history of epigenetic mechanisms: what can we learn from marine diatoms

Probing the evolutionary history of epigenetic mechanisms: what can we learn from marine diatoms

Recent progress made on epigenetic studies revealed the conservation of epigenetic features in deep diverse branching species including Stramenopiles, plants and animals. This suggests their fundamental role in shaping species genomes across different evolutionary time scales. Diatoms are a highly s...
