(Submitter supplied) Vertebrates have highly methylated genomes at CpG positions while most invertebrates have sparsely methylated genomes. Therefore, hypermethylation is considered a major innovation that shaped the genome and the regulatory roles of DNA methylation in vertebrates. However, here we report that the marine sponge Amphimedon queenslandica, belonging to one of the earliest branching animal lineages, has evolved a hypermethylated genome with remarkable similarities to that of a vertebrate. more...
