Abstract excerpt
Cytosine methylation appears to be established as an important DNA base modification involved in regulation of gene expression but is poorly understood from an evolutionary viewpoint. Xiphophorus progeny from inter-species crosses and backcrosses that are utilized in contemporary tumor induction studies were analyzed for cytosine methylation pattern inheritance using Southern blot analyses. Methylation patterns...
