mobioevo,
In one of your posts you described the sexual reproduction in Paramecium , as an example of an epigenetic phenomenon.
In my posts Why There Are Two Sexes Exist? I am using a similar example to illustrate a controversial hypothesis about two sexes emergence and mechanism of cell differentiation. I think the mechanism of cell differentiation is the most prominent example of epigenetic phenomenon.
Would be interesting to have your opinion on the proposed hypothesis. The "technical" aspects of proposed mechanism you can find at DNA Asymmetric Gene Activity
