Abstract:
Detailed features of genomic DNA methylation have been revealed by recent genome-wide analyses on several model organisms. An unexpected feature conserved among plants and some animals is the presence of DNA methylation within transcribed genes. For understanding the controlling mechanisms of the enigmatic genic methylation, genetic and genomic approaches using Arabidopsis may be effective.
