Cytosine methylation is an important base modification that is inherited across mitotic and
meiotic cell divisions in plant genomes. Heritable methylation variants can contribute to …

The primary sequence of the genome is broadly constant and superimposed upon that
constancy is the postreplicative modification of a small number of cytosine residues to 5 …

Plant DNA methylation is its own language, interpreted by the cell to maintain silencing of
transposons, facilitate chromatin structure, and to ensure proper expression of some genes …

DNA methylation is an ancient process found in all domains of life. Although the enzymes
that mediate methylation have remained highly conserved, DNA methylation has been …

Little is known about patterns of genic DNA methylation across the plant kingdom or about
the evolutionary processes that shape them. To characterize gene-body methylation (gbM) …

DNA methylation plays an important role in many biological processes. The mechanisms
underlying the establishment and maintenance of DNA methylation are well understood …

DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic silencing mechanism that functions to suppress
the proliferation of transposonsand regulate the expression of endogenous genes. In plants …

Cytosine bases are extensively methylated in the DNA of plant genomes. DNA methylation
has been implicated in the silencing of transposable elements and genes, and loss of …

Background Cytosine methylation in plant genomes is important for the regulation of gene
transcription and transposon activity. Genome-wide methylomes are studied upon mutation …
