Symbiosis is a widespread phenomenon in nature and represents a major force in adaptation and evolution. Epigenetic switches enable different phenotypic states to be present in a genetically identical population, potentially facilitating rapid species adaptation. The impact of symbiosis establishment and maintenance on host epigenetic mechanisms remains elusive.
