Methylation of cytosine residues in DNA influences chromatin structure and gene
transcription, and its regulation is crucial for brain development. There is mounting evidence …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark associated with transcriptional repression and
essential for proper vertebrate development. Because of its association with human …

Background Tissues and their component cells have unique DNA methylation profiles
comprising DNA methylation patterns of tissue-dependent and differentially methylated …

Methylation of cytosines in the CG context (mCG) is the most abundant DNA modification in
vertebrates that plays crucial roles in cellular differentiation and identity. After fertilization …

Methylation of cytosines is a prototypic epigenetic modification of the DNA. It has been
implicated in various regulatory mechanisms across the animal kingdom and particularly in …

The vertebrate body plan and organs are shaped during a conserved embryonic phase
called the phylotypic stage. However, the mechanisms that guide the epigenome through …

DNA methylation undergoes dynamic changes during development and cell differentiation.
Recent genome-wide studies discovered that tissue-specific differentially methylated …

Epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation are important mechanisms for mediating
developmental plasticity, where ontogenetic processes and their phenotypic outcomes are …

The characteristics of DNA methylation changes that occur during neurogenesis in vivo
remain unknown. We used whole-genome bisulfite sequencing to quantitate DNA cytosine …

Song learning in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) is a prototypical example of a complex
learned behavior, yet knowledge of the underlying molecular processes is limited …
