5mC and 6mA DNA Methylation in the Fungal Kingdom: From Genome Defense to Epigenetic Regulation

2026-04-16

Abstract excerpt

DNA methylation, the covalent addition of methyl groups to cytosine (5mC) or adenine (6mA) in DNA, is a fundamental mechanism of epigenetic inheritance conserved from bacteria to humans. Fungi provide a uniquely informative window into the evolutionary logic of methylation systems: spanning more than 1 billion years of diversification, the kingdom encompasses species that have lost cytosine methylation entirely, l...
