It is well known that phenotype of animals may be modified by the nutritional modulations
through epigenetic mechanisms. As a key and central component of epigenetic network …

DNA methylation is one of the main epigenetic phenomena affecting gene expression. It is
an important mechanism for the development of embryo, growth and health of animals. As a …

DNA methylation is the most extensively studied mechanism of epigenetic gene regulation.
Increasing evidence indicates that DNA methylation is labile in response to nutritional and …

DNA methylation is a vital modification process in the control of genetic information, which
contributes to the epigenetics by regulating gene expression without changing the DNA …

Nutrition has always played an important role in health and disease, ranging from common

Methylation of DNA occurs at cytosines within CpG (cytosine-guanine) dinucleotides and is
1 of several epigenetic mechanisms that serve to establish and maintain tissue-specific …

DNA methylation refers to the addition of a methyl group to nucleotides within DNA. As with
other epigenetic endpoints, patterns of DNA methylation are susceptible to alterations due to …

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 …
