More Than DNA Methylation: Does Pleiotropy Drive the Complex Pattern of Evolution of Dnmt1?

More Than DNA Methylation: Does Pleiotropy Drive the Complex Pattern of Evolution of Dnmt1?

DNA methylation is an important chromatin modification that can stably alter gene expression in cells and maintain genome integrity in plants and vertebrates. The function of DNA methylation outside of these well-studied systems, however, is unclear. Insects, in particular, represent an understudied...
