Introduction of epigenetic variation contribute to resistance against the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni
Abstract Background Waddington-type kick-start of adaptive evolution is assumed to be possible based on epigenetic variation alone. We tested this hypothesis in the snail Biomphalaria glabrata, vector of Schistosoma mansoni, the causative agent of the human disease schistosomiasis. Epilines and epig...
