DNA Methylation and Temperature Stress in an Antarctic Polychaete, Spiophanes tcherniai

Epigenetic modifications of DNA and histones are a primary mechanism by which gene expression activities may be modified in response to environmental stimuli. Here we characterize patterns of methyl-cytosine composition in the marine polychaete emph{Spiophanes tcherniai} from McMurdo Sound, Antarcti...
