Abstract excerpt
In a survey of several mammalian genomes, namely humans, rodents and bovines, the differences in the 5-methylcytosine (m5C) content show that repeated DNA sequences from sperm were undermethylated and from various somatic tissues were heavily methylated. This report shows a pattern of methylation...
