Gene body methylation (gbM) is an epigenetic mark where gene exons are methylated in
the CG context only, as opposed to CHG and CHH contexts (where H stands for A, C, or T) …

Methylation of cytosine bases in DNA provides a layer of epigenetic control in many
eukaryotes that has important implications for normal biology and disease. Therefore …

The epigenome orchestrates genome accessibility, functionality, and three-dimensional
structure. Because epigenetic variation can impact transcription and thus phenotypes, it may …

Nucleosome remodelers of the DDM1/Lsh family are required for DNA methylation of
transposable elements, but the reason for this is unknown. How DDM1 interacts with other …

Cytosine methylation is involved in various biological processes such as silencing of
transposable elements (TEs) and imprinting. Multiple pathways regulate DNA methylation in …

In plants, CG DNA methylation is prevalent in the transcribed regions of many constitutively
expressed genes (gene body methylation; gbM), but the origin and function of gbM remain …

DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mark involved in diverse biological processes.
In plants, DNA methylation can be established through the RNA-directed DNA methylation …

Histone methylation plays a fundamental role in regulating diverse developmental
processes and is also involved in silencing repetitive sequences in order to maintain …

Throughout their lives, plants sense many developmental and environmental stimuli, and
activation of optimal responses against these stimuli requires extensive transcriptional …

The regulation of eukaryotic chromatin relies on interactions between many epigenetic
factors, including histone modifications, DNA methylation, and the incorporation of histone …
