Genomic data suggest parallel dental vestigialization within the xenarthran radiation by Emerling, Christopher A, Gibb, Gillian C, Tilak, Marie-Ka, Hughes, Jonathan J, Kuch, Melanie, Duggan, Ana T, Poinar, Hendrik N, Nachman, Michael W, Delsuc, Frédéric

“…We specifically applied these principles to the xenarthran radiation (anteaters, sloths, armadillos), which is characterized by taxa with a gradation in regressed dental phenotypes. Whether the pattern among extant xenarthrans is due to an ancient and gradual decay of dental morphology or occurred repeatedly in parallel is unknown. …”

Acquired sperm hypomethylation by gestational arsenic exposure is re-established in both the paternal and maternal genomes of post-epigenetic reprogramming embryos by Keiko Nohara, Takehiro Suzuki, Kazuyuki Okamura, Tomoko Kawai, Kazuhiko Nakabayashi

“…While methylome changes acquired in the parental genomes are believed to be erased by epigenetic reprogramming, accumulating evidence suggests that methylome changes in sperm caused by environmental factors are involved in the disease phenotypes of the offspring. These findings imply that acquired sperm methylome changes are transferred to the embryo after epigenetic reprogramming. …”
