HDACs preferentially bind to areas that have been subjected to this process, and Enzymes that catalyze this process are classified as "de novo" or "maintenance" types.
This process can be studied by RLGS and by using Bisulfite Conversion based assays. HDACs preferentially bind to areas that have been subjected to this process, and Enzymes that catalyze this process are classified as "de novo" or "maintenance" types. Bacterial DNA mismatch repair systems distinguish between parent and daughter (*) strand on the basis of this process, which occurs at high levels in Barr bodies. This processes most often occurs at CpG ("c-p-g") islands, and regions of the genome subjected to high levels of this process become heterochromatin. For 10 points, name this process in which cytosine or adenine residues of DNA are modified by the attachment of a CH3 group.
