17. Alternatively, it is possible that some of these allele-specific expression changes reflect epigenetic effects in the hybrid, although this possibility appears unlikely because cytosine methylation has not been found in budding yeast and the observed allele-specific changes are not clustered at specific chromosomal domains [as might be expected for epigenetic effects (fig. S6)].
