The role of DNA methylation: a challenge for the DOHaD paradigm in going beyond the historical debate.

Abstract excerpt

A heritage of considerable research into such phenomena as parental imprinting and carcinogenesis is an almost axiomatic association of the DNA methylation epigenetic mark with the silencing of gene expression. However, the increasing technical resolution afforded by burgeoning -omics technologies reveals that a more elaborate interaction may exist between DNA methylation, within sub-regions of gene structure...
