Oysters in transition: hermaphrodite oysters display unique DNA methylation patterns in gill tissue

Abstract Background European flat oysters (Ostrea edulis) are sequential hermaphrodites that alternate sex in response to environmental change. Epigenetics, including DNA methylation, are often involved in sex reversal through influencing gene transcription. Knowledge on the epigenetic mechanisms un...
