In this context, epigenetic variability of DNA methylation has been proposed as an adaptive force involved in various environmental responses. In fish and other vertebrates, environmental factors are known to influence the health, performance and welfare, likely through the alteration of the epigenetic landscape. However, whether interindividual epigenetic variability may contribute to the phenotypic plasticity of fishes is unknown. Here we provide a first description of the rainbow trout methylome interindividual variability using a whole-genome bisulfite sequencing approach in an isogenic line to minimize genetic variation. Variable methylation regions were identified in both liver and hypothalamus tissues of 12 replicate fishes and were found enriched at gene regulatory elements, such as promoters and first introns. Gene Ontology analysis revealed functional clusters related to cellular development, neural communication, metabolic balance, and immune response. Interestingly, some variably methylated regions are found at the same genomic loci in both tissues and showed a strong intraindividual correlation in methylation levels, suggesting establishment during early embryogenesis.
