[HTML][HTML] DNA methylation: a historical perspective
AL Mattei, N Bailly, A Meissner - Trends in Genetics, 2022 - cell.com
In 1925, 5-methylcytosine was first reported in bacteria. However, its biological importance
was not intuitive for several decades. After this initial lag, the ubiquitous presence of this …
