Patterns of DNA methylation in animal genomes are known to vary from an apparent
absence of modified bases, via methylation of a minor fraction of the genome, to genome …

In this horizon scan article, I review the emerging area of ecological epigenetics in marine
animals with studies of DNA methylation as the primary focus. Epigenetic mechanisms such …

The function of DNA methylation in species such as bivalves where the limited amount of
DNA methylation is predominantly found in gene bodies remains unclear. An emerging …

To understand the spatiotemporal changes in cellular status that occur during embryonic
development, it is desirable to detect simultaneously the expression of genes, proteins, and …

DNA methylation plays a vital role in tissue development and differentiation in eukaryotes.
Epigenetic studies have been seldom conducted in the extremely diverse and evolutionarily …

DNA methylation (5mC) is central to cellular identity. The global erasure of 5mC from the
parental genomes during preimplantation mammalian development is critical to reset the …

DNA methylation is a key epigenetic modification in the vertebrate genomes known to be
involved in biological processes such as regulation of gene expression, DNA structure and …

DNA methylation is implicated in modulating gene transcription in a wide array of taxa.
However, a complete understanding of the specific function of DNA methylation requires …

Cytosine methylation is a com-mon DNA modification found in most eukaryotic organisms
including plants, animals, and fungi (1, 2). The addition of a methyl group to cytosine …

Background DNA methylation of active genes, also known as gene body methylation, is
found in many animal and plant genomes. Despite this, the transcriptional and …
