Most seabirds do not have any outward identifiers of their chronological age, so estimation
of seabird population age structure generally requires expensive, long-term banding …

Cytosine DNA methylation is a significant form of DNA modification closely associated with
gene expression in eukaryotes, fungi, animals, and plants. Although the reference genomes …

Many studies have proved that DNA methylation can regulate gene expression and further
affect skeletal muscle growth and development of pig, whereas the mechanisms of how DNA …

Background Interferon inducible transmembrane (IFITM) proteins are effectors of the
immune system widely characterized for their role in restricting infection by diverse …

The biological structure and function of the mammalian testis undergo important
developmental changes during prepuberty and DNA methylation is dynamically regulated …

Sexual dimorphism is often mediated by tissue-specific, differential gene expression, but the
mechanisms that regulate these gene expression patterns are not well understood. Here, we …

Cytosine methylation is an effective way to modulate gene transcription. However, very little
is known about the epigenetic changes in the host that is infected with Salmonella enterica …

Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) are responsible for heavy economic losses in
poultry industry. Here we investigate DNA methylome of spleen and identify functional DNA …

As an important epigenetic modification DNA methylation is catalyzed by DNA methylation
transferases (DNMTs) and occurs mainly in CpG islands. DNA methylation plays an …
