DNA methylation on cytosine is an epigenetic modification and is essential for gene
regulation and genome stability in vertebrates. Traditionally DNA methylation was …

DNA methylation and demethylation are increasingly recognized as important epigenetic
factors in both plants and animals. DNA methylation, which is catalyzed by DNA …

Pathways that control and modulate DNA methylation patterning in mammalian cells were
poorly understood for a long time, although their importance in establishing and maintaining …

DNA methylation has long been considered a very stable DNA modification in mammals that
could only be removed by replication in the absence of remethylation–that is, by mere …

Recent advances have expanded our understanding of the processes underlying the
establishment, maintenance, and elaboration of DNA methylation patterns in eukaryotes …

DNA methylation is a major epigenetic marking mechanism regulating various biological
functions in mammals and plant. The crucial role of DNA methylation has been observed in …

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 …

DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mark involved in diverse biological processes.
In plants, DNA methylation can be established through the RNA-directed DNA methylation …

DNA methylation is one of the best-characterized epigenetic modifications and has been
implicated in numerous biological processes, including transposable element silencing …

Cell type-specific DNA methylation patterns are established during mammalian
