## Abstract The existence of DNA methylation in insects has been a controversial subject over a long period of time. The recently completed genome sequence of the honeybee __Apis mellifera__ has revealed the first insect with a full complement of DNA methyltransferases.1 A parallel study demonstrat

## Abstract Summary: Mammalian cloning has been accomplished in several mammalian species by nuclear transfer. However, the production rate of cloned animals is quite low, and many cloned offspring die or show abnormal symptoms. A possible cause of the low success rate of cloning and abnormal sympt
## Abstract Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are pluripotent, selfβrenewing cells. These cells can be used in applications such as cell therapy, drug development, disease modeling, and the study of cellular differentiation. Investigating the interplay of epigenetics, genetics, and gene expression in con
## CYTOSINE METHYLATION IN GENE REGULATION Current evidence on the role of cytosine methylation in the DNA of eukaryotes suggests that methylation plays a role in stabilizing inactive chromatin domains. The existence of proteins that bind specifically to methylated DNA suggests that folded (conden
The methylation of DNA is an epigenetic modification that can play an important role in the control of gene expression in mammalian cells. The enzyme involved in this process is DNA methyltransferase, which catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-methionine to cytosine residues to f
