DNA methylation patterns provide insight into epigenetic regulation in the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas)
MR Gavery, SB Roberts - BMC genomics, 2010 - Springer
Background DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism with important regulatory
functions in animals. While the mechanism itself is evolutionarily ancient, the distribution and …

DNA methylation in human epigenomes depends on local topology of CpG sites
In vertebrates, methylation of cytosine at CpG sequences is implicated in stable and
heritable patterns of gene expression. The classical model for inheritance, in which …

DNA sequence explains seemingly disordered methylation levels in partially methylated domains of Mammalian genomes
For the most part metazoan genomes are highly methylated and harbor only small regions
with low or absent methylation. In contrast, partially methylated domains (PMDs), recently …

DNA methylation: old dog, new tricks?
CG Spruijt, M Vermeulen - Nature structural & molecular biology, 2014 - nature.com
DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that is generally associated with repression of
transcription initiation at CpG-island promoters. Here we argue that, on the basis of recent …
