A significant portion of ongoing epigenetic research involves the investigation of DNA
methylation and chromatin modification patterns seen throughout many biological …

Epigenetic mechanisms control gene transcription primarily through regulating chromatin
structures and DNA methylation. Transcription factors can also affect gene transcription …

DNA methylation plays a critical role in the regulation of gene expression. The ability to
access the methylation status for a large number of genes or the entire genome should …

The three-way connection between DNA methylation, chromatin configuration, and
transcriptional regulation is under increasing attention, but the fine rules governing the epi …

Background The processes that compose expression of a given gene are far more complex
than previously thought presenting unprecedented conceptual and mechanistic challenges …

Epigenetics refers to nucleotide sequence-independent events, and heritable changes,
including DNA methylation and histone modification (as the two main processes) …

Epigenetics refers to the collective heritable changes in phenotype that arise independent of
genotype. Two broad areas of epigenetics are DNA methylation and histone modifications …

The access of transcription factors and the replication machinery to DNA is regulated by the
epigenetic state of chromatin. In eukaryotes, this complex layer of regulatory processes …

DNA methylation is a biochemical process where a DNA base, usually cytosine, is
enzymatically methylated at the 5-carbon position. An epigenetic modification associated …

Epigenetics is the study of heritable change other than those encoded in DNA sequence.
Cytosine methylation of DNA at CpG dinucleotides is the most well-studied epigenetic …
