dna methylation in eukaryotes
Abstract. A much wider variety of biological functions of postreplicative DNA methylation is observed in prokaryotes than in eukaryotes. In eukaryotes DNA methylation is primarily a means of the control of gene expression.Many chapters of this book are devoted to various aspects of this function.bstract.
