## 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
