Methylation of DNA and of histone 3 at Lys 9 (H3K9) are highly correlated with gene
silencing in eukaryotes from fungi to humans. Both of these epigenetic marks need to be …

Methylation of histones on different lysine residues is dynamically added by distinct writer
enzymes, interpreted by reader proteins, and removed by eraser enzymes. This epigenetic …

DNA methylation occurs in CG and non-CG sequence contexts. Non-CG methylation is
abundant in plants and is mediated by CHROMOMETHYLASE (CMT) and DOMAINS …

Polycomb group (PcG)-mediated histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) has a key
role in gene repression and developmental regulation,,,. There is evidence that H3K27me3 …

Eukaryotic centromeres contain the kinetochore, which connects chromosomes to the
spindle allowing segregation. During meiosis, centromeres are suppressed for inter …

In eukaryotic cell nuclei, chromatin states dictated by different combinations of post-
translational modifications of histones, such as acetylation, methylation and …

Transgenerational epigenetics is defined in opposition to developmental epigenetics and
implies an absence of resetting of epigenetic states between generations. Unlike mammals …

Adenosine triphosphate‐dependent chromatin remodeling complexes are important for the
regulation of transcription, DNA replication, and genome stability in eukaryotes. Although …

DNA methylation is a common feature of eukaryotic genomes and is especially common in
noncoding regions of plants. Protein coding regions of plants are often methylated also, but …

Dnmt1 epigenetically propagates symmetrical CG methylation in many eukaryotes. Their
genomes are typically depleted of CG dinucleotides because of imperfect repair of …
