DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification which plays an important role in chromatin
organization and gene expression. DNA methylation can silence genes and repetitive …

Genetic, biochemical and cytological studies on DNA methylation in several eukaryotic
organisms have resulted in leaps of understanding in the past three years. Discoveries of …

Methylation of cytosines can mediate epigenetic gene silencing and is the only known DNA
modification in eukaryotes. Recent efforts to map DNA methylation across mammalian …

DNA methylation is associated with the silencing of gene expression. The predominant
mechanism involves the methylation of DNA and the subsequent recruitment of binding …

DNA methylation has an essential regulatory function in mammalian development, serving
to repress nontranscribed genes stably in differentiated adult somatic cells. Recent data …

During differentiation and development cells undergo dramatic morphological and functional
changes without any change in the DNA sequence. The underlying changes of gene …

Over three decades ago DNA methylation had been suggested to play a role in the
regulation of gene expression. This chapter reviews the development of this field of research …

Methylation of cytosines is the key epigenetic modification of DNA in eukaryotes and is
associated with a repressed chromatin state and inhibition of gene expression. The …
