Changes in gene DNA methylation and expression networks accompany caste specialization and age‐related physiological changes in a social insect

Social insects provide systems for studying epigenetic regulation of phenotypes, particularly with respect to differentiation of reproductive and worker castes, which typically arise from a common genetic background. The role of gene expression in caste specialization has been extensively studied, b...
