Abstract excerpt
Methylation of cytosine residues in eukaryotic genomes is often associated with repeated sequences including transposons and their derivatives. Methylation has been implicated in control of two potential deleterious effects of these repeats: (1) uncontrolled transcription, which often disturbs pr...
