Transcription by DNA Methylation | Genetics
In this article we will discuss about the regulation of levels of transcription by DNA methylation. In most higher plants and animals, the DNA is often modified after synthesis by the enzymatic conversion of many cytosine bases to 5-methylcytosine bases (Fig. 5.8). The extent of methylation varies from species to species; in mammals, from 2 to 7 percent of the [...]
