DNA methylation is of paramount importance for mammalian embryonic development. DNA
methylation has numerous functions: it is implicated in the repression of transposons and …

The regulation of gene transcription is not simply dependent on the presence or absence of
DNA-binding transcription factors that turn genes on or off, but also involves processes …

Despite thousands of articles about 5-methylcytosine (m5C) residues in vertebrate DNA,
there is still controversy concerning the role of genomic m5C in normal vertebrate …

Understanding the mechanisms involved in the regulation of gene expression in eukaryotic
organisms is one of the major challenges facing the modern molecular biologist. Despite …

DNA methylation is a crucial epigenetic modification of the genome that is involved in
regulating many cellular processes. These include embryonic development, transcription …

DNA methylation has the ability to repress transcription; in addition, the pattern of
methylation can be stably inherited during successive cell divisions [1]. These two features …

DNA methylation is one of the most extensively studied epigenetic marks. It is involved in
transcriptional gene silencing and plays important roles during mammalian development. Its …

One of the most critical epigenetic signatures present in the genome of higher eukaryotes is
the methylation of DNA at the C-5 position of the cytosine ring. Based on the sites of DNA …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification which plays an important role in chromatin
organization and gene expression. DNA methylation can silence genes and repetitive …
