Research Advances of DNA Methylation in Aquatic Animals
DNA methylation is one of the most common epigenetic phenomena in eukaryotes.It is a process that can be reversed and can directly affect the activity of the gene.More and more ex-periments have proved that DNA methylation plays a decisive role in aquatic animals’growth and development.Therefore,studies on DNA methylation are the key to investigate aquatic animals’ physiological phenomena from a molecular perspective.This paper expounds the related mecha-nisms of DNA methylation,and introduces the latest research methods.According to the latest research progress,it summarizes its application in aquatic animals and its prospect of develop-ment.
