Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms that establish DNA methylation in eukaryotes are poorly understood. In principle, methylation in a particular chromosomal region may reflect the presence of a "signal" that recruits methylation, the absence of a signal that prevents methylation, or both. Experiments were carried out to address these possibilities for the 1.6 kb zeta-eta (zeta-eta) region, a relict of repeat-induced point mutation...
