摘要Molecular clocks serve as valuable instruments employed by sci-entists to estimate the temporal divergence of species during evo-lution.Nevertheless,the conventional molecular clocks that rely on DNA exhibit a sluggish rate of change,rendering them unsuit-able for studying recent evolutionary events.Counting epigenetic alterations(epimutations),which occur more quickly than DNA sequence variations,Yao et al.(2023)describe an"epimutation clock"that overcomes this limitation and experimentally applied this clock to the phylogeny reconstruction in self-pollinating(selfing)and clonal(vegetatively propagated)plants(Figure 1).
