DNA Methylation and Gene Silencing

Description

DNA methylation is a DNA change that can help turn genes on or off. It happens most often at CpG dinucleotides, which are places where a cytosine is followed by a guanine in the DNA sequence. Methyl groups added at these sites may affect gene expression and are often studied near promoters and other gene control regions.
