DNA methylation is a biological process that results in the addition of methyl groups to DNA.
Methyl groups are “one-carbon” chemical groups and their covalent attachment to certain …

Methylation is a major regulator of mammalian genome function in vivo. The methylation of
DNA on cytosine residues is a critical component of the host genome defense pathway …

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 …

Methylation of cytosines is a pervasive feature of eukaryotic genomes and an important
epigenetic layer that is fundamental for cellular differentiation processes and control of …
