## 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

DNA methylation is catalyzed by a family of conserved DNA methyltransferases and is widespread among protists, plants, fungi and animals. It is however absent in some species and its genomic distribution varies among organisms. Sequence comparisons suggest that known and putative eukaryotic DNA meth
The DNA sequence of a single-stranded and double-stranded template was determined. The templates were sequenced using the chain termination method and cycle sequencing method and detected by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The sequencing products were an
## Demethylation of a repetitive DNA sequence in human cancers To detect DNA alterations in unknown regions in human cancers, we have performed restriction landmark genomic scanning (RLG S) analysis of DNA isolated from cancer and normal cells. One spot with a highly intensified signal was detecte
