Abstract excerpt
AIM: We previously reported changes of DNA methylation and transcription patterns in mammalian cells that carry integrated foreign DNA. Experiments were now designed to assess the epigenetic consequences of inserting a 5.6 kbp plasmid into the human genome. METHODS: Differential transcription and CpG methylation patterns were compared between transgenomic and nontransgenomic cell clones by using gene chip...
