The genomes of many animals, plants and fungi are tagged by methylation of DNA cytosine.
To understand the biological significance of this epigenetic mark it is essential to know …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that is erased in the early embryo and then re-
established at the time of implantation. In this Review, dynamics of DNA methylation during …

Epigenetic modifications are heritable changes in gene expression not encoded by the DNA
sequence. In the past decade, great strides have been made in characterizing epigenetic …

Methylation of CpG dinucleotides is a reversible modification of DNA that is highly prevalent
throughout mammalian genomes. Recent advances generated genomic DNA methylation …

DNA methylation is an essential epigenetic modification for mammalian development and is
crucial for the establishment and maintenance of cellular identity. Traditionally, DNA …

Methylation patterns are the result of de novo methylation, demethylation, and the
maintenance of existing methylation. Although the existence and identity of an active …

DNA methylation is essential to development and cellular physiology in mammals. Faulty
DNA methylation is frequently observed in human diseases like cancer and neurological …

DNA methylation is one of the most important heritable epigenetic modifications of the
genome and is involved in the regulation of many cellular processes. Aberrant DNA …

In this review, we will provide a brief reminder of epigenetic phenomena in general, and
DNA methylation in particular. We will then underline the characteristics of the in vivo …

From a fertilised egg to a mature organism, cells divide and accumulate epigenetic
information, which is faithfully passed on to daughter cells. DNA methylation consolidates …
