Opis
The Lake Malawi cichlid fishes are an example of extreme vertebrate radiation; however, there is very little sequence divergence among the species. Here the authors present a comparative genome-wide methylome study to suggest DNA methylation played a major role in the extensive phenotypic diversity amongst these fishes.
