Abstract excerpt
In eukaryotes, the most common epigenetic DNA modification is methylation of carbon 5 of cytosines, predominantly in CpG dinucleotides. Methylation patterns are established and maintained by a family of proteins known as DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs). DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mark associated with gene repression, and disruption of the normal DNA methylation pattern is known to play a role in...
