Role of small RNAs and chromatin in transposable element silencing during global demethylation

2017-01-01

Abstract excerpt

DNA methylation entails the addition of a methyl group to the 5-carbon of the cytosine base of the DNA. This modification is important during many biological processes such as imprinting, X-chromosome inactivation, cell differentiation as well as silencing of transposable elements (TEs). DNA methylation is dynamic during early mammalian development, despite being a more static mark in somatic cells. Global hypomet...
