Ever wondered about the fitness consequences of changes in gene expression? Or the heritability of gene expression changes in response to the environment? Check out the novel approach to these big picture questions led by @granogan!
New preprint w/ @SciStrader and Gretchen Hofmann!
We show that parental environments alter the fitness consequences and genetic architecture of offspring plasticity and associated gene expression pathways in purple urchins. Check it out!
