Description This is a ms for the Molecular Ecology Special Issue 'Epigenetic Studies in Ecology and Evolution'. Link to publisher's version: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mec.13414/full DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that plays an inadequately understood role in gene regulation, particularly in non-model species. Because it can be influenced by the environment, DNA methylation may contribute to the ability of organisms to acclimatize and adapt to environmental change. We evaluated the distribution of gene body methylation in reef-building corals, a group of organisms facing significant environmental threats. Gene body methylation in six species of corals was inferred...
