Abstract

The Epigenetics of Emerging and Nonmodel Organisms

Highlights

  • How to Study Epigenetics in Non- and Emerging-Model Organisms

  • One area of biology into which non-model organisms promise to provide significant insight is the area of epigenetics

  • Epigenetics focuses on how internal and external environments interact with the genome to produce the phenotype, and non-model organisms arguably present a larger range of phenotypes than model organisms

Summary

Introduction

How to Study Epigenetics in Non- and Emerging-Model Organisms. Despite the ecological and evolutionary importance of non-model organisms, an obvious disadvantage is the absence of genetic and epigenetic tools available for these organisms. Editorial The Epigenetics of Emerging and Nonmodel Organisms Genetic model organisms have gifted researchers with a breathtakingly detailed understanding of the most intimate aspects of their genomes, cells, and development. To truly appreciate the variety of biological mechanisms underlying this remarkable diversity, one must study the often inconvenient but fascinating non model organism.
