Genome-wide evolutionary analysis of eukaryotic DNA methylation

Eukaryotic cytosine methylation represses transposable elements, but also occurs in bodies of active genes. The extent to which these processes are conserved is unclear, and...真核生物胞嘧啶甲基化（cytosine methylation）能够抑制转座因子（transposable elements），同时也可出现于活性基因的基因体中。目前学界对这些过程的进化保守程度尚不明确，且……
