DNA methylation is of paramount importance for mammalian embryonic development. DNA
methylation has numerous functions: it is implicated in the repression of transposons and …

DNA methylation is one of the most extensively studied epigenetic marks. It is involved in
transcriptional gene silencing and plays important roles during mammalian development. Its …

DNA methylation in mammals is a key epigenetic modification essential to normal genome
regulation and development. DNA methylation patterns are established during early …

DNA methylation is a crucial epigenetic modification of the genome that is involved in
regulating many cellular processes. These include embryonic development, transcription …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that is erased in the early embryo and then re-
established at the time of implantation. In this Review, dynamics of DNA methylation during …

Methylation of the cytosine base in DNA, DNA methylation, is an essential epigenetic mark
in mammals that contributes to the regulation of transcription. Several advances have been …

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 …

In this review, we will provide a brief reminder of epigenetic phenomena in general, and
DNA methylation in particular. We will then underline the characteristics of the in vivo …

Despite thousands of articles about 5-methylcytosine (m5C) residues in vertebrate DNA,
there is still controversy concerning the role of genomic m5C in normal vertebrate …

Ever since the discovery of DNA methylation at cytosine residues, the role of this so called
fifth base has been extensively studied and debated. Until recently, the majority of DNA …
