Broad epigenetic shifts in the aging Drosophila retina contribute to its altered rhythmic transcriptome.

Sarah E. McGovern, Gaoya Meng, Makayla N. Marlin…·Vikki Marie Weake

This study shows that aging in Drosophila retina causes broad epigenetic shifts, including decreased histone methylation, which disrupt gene expression rhythms despite a functional circadian clock.
