PY - 2016 DA - 2016/09/27 TI - Widespread natural variation of DNA methylation within angiosperms JO - Genome Biology SP - 194 VL - 17 IS - 1 AB - DNA methylation is an important feature of plant epigenomes, involved in the formation of heterochromatin and affecting gene expression. Extensive variation of DNA methylation patterns within a species has been uncovered from studies of natural variation. However, the extent to which DNA methylation varies between flowering plant species is still unclear. To understand the variation in genomic patterning of DNA methylation across flowering plant species, we compared single base resolution DNA methylomes of 34 diverse angiosperm species.
