Paramutation

... changes (gene silencing, genomic imprinting, and transvection, etc). In 2006, Alleman et al proposed that "paramutation is RNA-directed. Stability of the chromatin states associated with paramutation and transposon silencing requires the mop1 gene, which encodes an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase." ...

Re: The Colin Leslie Dean species paradox

... a graph in which the change in organisms' genes over time is mapped, you'll see varying rates of change, interspersed by periods of relative stability. It is during those states of stability that we can, with some confidence, consider a group of organisms a species or perhaps subspecies. ...
