## Abstract Despite thousands of articles about 5βmethylcytosine (m^5^C) residues in vertebrate DNA, there is still controversy concerning the role of genomic m^5^C in normal vertebrate development. Inverse correlations between expression and methylation are seen for many gene regulatory regions [H

## Abstract Epigenetic modification of the cytosine base of DNA by its methylation introduced the possibility that beyond the inherent information contained within the nucleotide sequence there was an additional layer of information added to the underlying genetic code. DNA methylation has been imp
DNA repair is important in such phenomena as carcinogenesis and aging. While much is known about DNA repair in single-cell systems such as bacteria, yeast, and cultured mammalian cells, it is necessary to examine DNA repair in a developmental context in order to completely understand its processes i
## Abstract Dynamic changes in gene expression are tightly controlled during development, as a single totipotent zygote gives rise to distinct cell lineages. The establishment and maintenance of these diverse transcriptional programs rely on changes of chromatin state, mainly through histone modifi
