Hemimethylation and Non-CpG Methylation Levels in a Promoter Region of Human LINE-1 (L1) Repeated Elements
15 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
DNA methylation within the promoter region of human LINE1 (L1) transposable elements is important for maintaining transcriptional inactivation and for inhibiting L1 transposition. Determining methylation patterns on the complementary strands of repeated sequences is difficult using standard bisulfite methylation analysis. Evolutionary changes in each repeat and the variations between cells or alleles of the same...
