). It may also contribute to immobilization of mammalian transposons, suppression of
transcriptional noise, and the control of tissue-specific gene expression, but decisive …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification which plays an important role in chromatin
organization and gene expression. DNA methylation can silence genes and repetitive …

CpG methylation in vertebrates correlates with alterations in chromatin structure and gene
silencing 1, 2, 3, 4. Differences in DNA-methylation status are associated with imprinting …

When maize seedlings were exposed to cold stress, a genome-wide demethylation occurred
in root tissues. Screening of genomic DNA identified one particular fragment that was …

DNA methylation and histone H1 mediate transcriptional silencing of genes and
transposable elements, but how they interact is unclear. In plants and animals with mosaic …

The combination of DNA bisulfite treatment with high-throughput sequencing technologies
has enabled investigation of genome-wide DNA methylation at near base pair level …

DNA methylation is an essential mechanism controlling gene expression during
differentiation and development. We investigated the epigenetic regulation of the nuclear …

Repetitive genomic sequences can adopt a number of alternative DNA structures that differ
from the canonical B-form duplex (ie non-B DNA). These non-B DNA-forming sequences …

The basis for the endothelial cell-restricted expression of endothelial nitric-oxide synthase
(eNOS) is not known. While transgenic promoter/reporter mice demonstrated endothelium …

Cytosine methylation regulates essential genome functions across eukaryotes, but the
fundamental question of whether nucleosomal or naked DNA is the preferred substrate of …
