DNA methylation deposition is dependent on the presence of H3K4me3 and H3K36me3 histone marks.

mSTARR-seq identifies regions of the genome where DNA methylation causally impacts gene expression, providing a map of which epigenetic marks may influence trait variation.

Methylation of a key transcription factor gene by a de novo DNA methyltransferase assures the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cell fate.

Phosphate starvation in rice induces widespread, but transient, modulation of DNA methylation near stress responsive genes that is independent from the RNA-directed DNA methylation pathway.

A previously unappreciated histone methylation pathway helps limit DNA double-strand break formation and recombination in heterochromatin during meiosis.

Two methyl-binding domain proteins have interdependent functions in embryonic stem cells, and this interdependency extends to the DNA methylation/hydroxymethylation machinery.

The various transposon families of the mammalian genome can adopt different types of repressive chromatin responses upon DNA methylation loss.

Lysine mono- and di-methylation are two novel post-translational modifications of RNA polymerase II, which are enriched at promoters of active genes, precede lysine acetylation and mark early stages of transcription.

The adaptation of Arabidopsis plants to the local environment is linked to DNA methylation.

A robust mouse multi-tissue age predictor is presented that can be used to assess the DNA methylation age of mouse tissues and test the effects of longevity interventions.
