Non-genetically-based intraspecific differentiation for heavy metal tolerance in the copper moss Scopelophila cataractae

<p>We used next-generation sequencing to study DNA methylation and gene expression changes in plants from four clonal populations of the metallophyte moss <em>Scopelophila cataractae</em> experimentally exposed to either Cd or Cu. For this we performed reduced representation bisulfite DNA sequencing and RNA sequencing.&nbsp;</p>
