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 …

DNA methylation is the epigenetic modification, which introduces 5mC as fifth base onto
DNA. As for the distribution of 5mCs, it is well known that they distribute themselves in a non …

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 …

We demonstrate that methylation of the 12 dinucleotide CpGs within a GC-rich DNA
fragment containing a Xenopus borealis 5 S rRNA gene does not influence histone H1 …

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

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 an important epigenetic mark that is known to induce chromatin
condensation and gene silencing. We used a time-domain fluorescence lifetime …

DNA sequence information that directs the translational positioning of nucleosomes can be
attenuated by cytosine methylation when a short run of CpG dinucleotides is located close to …

CpG methylation is known to suppress transcription. This repression is generally thought to
be related to alterations of chromatin structure that are specified by the methylation. The …

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 …
