DNA methylation plays a vital role in epigenetic regulation in both plants and animals, and
typically occurs at the 5-carbon position of the cytosine pyrimidine ring within the CpG …

DNA methylation has been implicated in chromatin condensation and nuclear organization,
especially at sites of constitutive heterochromatin. How this is mediated has not been clear …

The cell nucleus is a highly structured compartment where nuclear components are thought
to localize in non-random positions. Correct positioning of large chromatin domains may …

Symmetrical methylation of cytosine residues at CpG dinucleotides of the DNA molecule is a
central epigenetic and heritable hallmark of the genome. This epigenetic modification of …

DNA methylation is important in the control of gene transcription and chromatin structure.
The complexities of this process are just beginning to be elucidated in relationship to other …

The relationship between DNA methylation and chromatin structure is still largely unknown.
By analyzing a large set of published sequencing data, we observed a long-range power …

Cytosine methylation on CpG dinucleotides is an essential epigenetic modification in
eukaryotes. How DNA methylation modulates nucleosome structure and dynamics has been …

Cytosine methylation is one of the most important epigenetic marks that regulate the process
of gene expression. Here, we have examined the effect of epigenetic DNA methylation on …

One of the mechanisms proposed to explain how CpG methylation effects gene repression
invokes a DNA methylation-determined chromatin structure. Previous work implied that this …

Methylation of DNA at CpG dinucleotides represents one of the most important epigenetic
mechanisms involved in the control of gene expression in vertebrate cells. In this report, we …
