To accelerate progress, what is required now is a convergence of genomic data with biochemical and single-cell-type analyses in selected species representing contrasting evolutionary solutions in epigenetics.application/pdfen-AU© 2022 Elsevier LtdWithout mechanisms, theories and models in insect epigenetics remain a black box202210.1016/j.tig.2022.05.0042023-09-17
