Metabolic disorders have a large heritable component, and have increased markedly in human populations over the past few generations. Genome-wide association studies of metabolic traits typically fin
Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are under-studied and under-annotated in plants. In mammals, lncRNA expression has been shown to be reaching the extent of protein-coding expression and be h
Data from: Preite et al. 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3871) Increased transgenerational epigenetic variation, but not predictable epigenetic variants, after environmental exposure in two apomictic dandelio
The molecular basis of evolutionary change is assumed to be genetic variation. However, growing evidence suggests that epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, may also be involved in evolution
DNA methylation is the major repression mechanism for human retrotransposons, such as the Alu family. Here, we have determined the methylation levels associated with 5238 loci belonging to 2 Alu subfa
