Question
Chapter 19, Problem 4PDQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The part of the genome which is reversibly methylated.
Introduction: Histone modification is important for the proper functioning of the cell. Errors in the process of histone modification may lead to various cancer and genetic disease in humans.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The effect of reversible methylation on gene expression.
Introduction: Reversible DNA methylation mainly occurs at the CpG island and promoter sequence of various genes. DNA methyltransferase enzyme is important for site-specific methylation in genes.
