Writing about a biological subject based on one species can limit the scope of the
discussion, but in the case of DNA methylation and Arabidopsis, the restriction is entirely …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification required for transposable element (TE)
silencing, genome stability, and genomic imprinting. Although DNA methylation has been …

DNA methylation is essential for gene regulation, transposon silencing and imprinting.
Although the generation of specific DNA methylation patterns is critical for these processes …

Epigenome modulation potentially provides a mechanism for organisms to adapt, within and
between generations. However, neither the extent to which this occurs, nor the mechanisms …

Recent research has demonstrated that DNA methylation plays an integral role in regulating
the timing of flowering and in endosperm development. The identification of key genes …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that regulates multiple processes, such as gene
expression and genome stability. Mutants and pharmacological treatments have been …

Cytosine methylation is a com-mon DNA modification found in most eukaryotic organisms
including plants, animals, and fungi (1, 2). The addition of a methyl group to cytosine …

DNA methylation can play important roles in the regulation of transposable elements and
genes. A collection of mutant alleles for 11 maize (Zea mays) genes predicted to play roles …

Cytosine DNA methylation is a stable epigenetic mark that is crucial for diverse biological
processes, including gene and transposon silencing, imprinting and X chromosome …

DNA methylation can contribute to the maintenance of genome integrity and regulation of
gene expression. In most situations, DNA methylation patterns are inherited quite stably …
