Impact of DNA methylation on digestive and metabolic gene expression in red pandas (Ailurus fulgens) during the transition from milk to bamboo diet
This study reveals the regulatory role of DNA methylation in the dietary transition of red pandas from milk to bamboo and provides methylation evidence for the molecular regulation of adaptive expression of digestive and metabolic genes in red pandas with specialized diets.
