-------- Original Message -------- Subject: epigenetics Date: Fri, 3 Feb 2012 07:13:53 -0500 From: andrea cardini <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Dear morphometricians, I would like to suggest a reference to those interested in a broad view on what epigenetics is really about: Günter P. Wagner, 2012. Epigenetics in all its beauty. Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Volume 27, Issue 2, 70-71 http://www.cell.com/trends/ecology-evolution/fulltext/S0169-5347%2811%290026 3-1 This is something I discussed informally with quite a few people who are on the list, who also seemed unhappy about the (mis)use of the term by geneticists, and it is a word that often appears in the morphometric literature. I liked this short review a lot, and hope that other morphometricians will find it useful. No doubts the book too is most interesting.
