Heritable epigenetic variation facilitates long-term maintenance of epigenetic and genetic variation

A. K. Webster, P. C. Phillips

This study extends a population-genetic model to include epigenetic variation through epimutation, showing how epialleles can be maintained in equilibrium and influence genetic variation.

Balancing selection maintains hyper-divergent haplotypes in C. elegans

D. Lee, S. Zdraljevic, L. Stevens, Y. Wang, R. E. Tanny, T. A. Crombie, D. E. Cook, A. K. Webster, R. Chirakar, L. R. Baugh, M. Sterken, C. Braendle, M.-A. Felix, M. Rockman, E. C. Andersen

The paper shows that balancing selection maintains genetic diversity in hyper-divergent regions of C. elegans, enabling adaptation despite selfing.

Dauer diapause has transgenerational effects on starvation survival and gene expression plasticity

A. K. Webster, J. M. Jordan, J. D. Hibshman, R. Chitrakar, L. R. Baugh

This study shows that extended dauer diapause in C. elegans increases starvation resistance and lifespan in F3 progeny but reduces gene expression plasticity.
