Methyl-CpG binding domain proteins inhibit interspecies courtship and promote aggression in Drosophila

Methyl-CpG binding domain proteins inhibit interspecies courtship and promote aggression in Drosophila

Abstract Reproductive isolation and speciation are driven by the convergence of environmental and genetic variation. The integration of these variation sources is thought to occur through epigenetic marks including DNA methylation. Proteins containing a methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD) bind methylate...
