DNA methylation is a vital modification process in the control of genetic information, which
contributes to the epigenetics by regulating gene expression without changing the DNA …

DNA methylation is the most extensively studied mechanism of epigenetic gene regulation.
Increasing evidence indicates that DNA methylation is labile in response to nutritional and …

It is now appreciated that both genetic alteration, eg mutations, and aberrant epigenetic
changes, eg DNA methylation, cause cancer. Epigenetic dysregulation is potentially …

The field of genetics has expanded a lot in the past few decades due to the accessibility of
human genome sequences, but still, the regulation of transcription cannot be explicated …

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 …

Epigenetic factors modulate cellular differentiation by altering histone structure and
changing DNA methylation. 9, 97 These processes package genes into “open and …

Several nutrients are acknowledged to influence epigenetic phenomena, such as DNA
methylation, histone modifications, noncoding microRNAs, and chromatin remodeling …
