Science, 381(6658), eabq5693. https://doi.org/doi:10.1126/science.abq5693 Abstract Using DNA methylation profiles (n = 15,456) from 348 mammalian species, we constructed phyloepigenetic trees that bear marked similarities to traditional phylogenetic ones. Using unsupervised clustering across all samples, we Continue Reading
