Abstract:Background
Gene expression divergence between populations and between individuals can emerge from genetic variations within the genes and/or in the cis regulatory elements. Since epigenetic modifications regulate gene expression, it is conceivable that epigenetic variations in cis regulatory elements can also be a source of gene expression divergence.

In this study, we compared histone acetylation (namely, H3K9ac) profiles in two mouse stra… Show more
