DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification required for transposable element (TE)
silencing, genome stability, and genomic imprinting. Although DNA methylation has been …

DNA methylation is a major epigenetic marking mechanism regulating various biological
functions in mammals and plant. The crucial role of DNA methylation has been observed in …

Plant DNA methylation is its own language, interpreted by the cell to maintain silencing of
transposons, facilitate chromatin structure, and to ensure proper expression of some genes …

DNA methylation is an ancient process found in all domains of life. Although the enzymes
that mediate methylation have remained highly conserved, DNA methylation has been …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification of the genome involved in the regulation of
gene expression and modulation of chromatin structure. Plant genomes are widely …

DNA methylation is a type of epigenetic marking that strongly influences chromatin structure
and gene expression in plants and mammals. Over the past decade, DNA methylation has …

Cytosine DNA methylation is a stable epigenetic mark that is crucial for diverse biological
processes, including gene and transposon silencing, imprinting and X chromosome …

A contribution of DNA methylation to defense against invading nucleic acids and
maintenance of genome integrity is uncontested; however, our understanding of the extent …

Plants contain three distinct DNA methyltransferase types that are responsible for the
establishment and maintenance of cytosine methylation patterns at heterochromatic and …
