This pattern is then preserved throughout organismal growth, based on a ...

Professor Cedar gives a “whole genome” perspective on DNA methylation. He explains the different methylation patters that are found in each tissue and shows what controls this disparity in gene expression. Additionally, there is an in depth explanation of CpG islands and their importance in gene reg ...

Professor Cedar explains the role of DNA methylation in cancer and stem cells. While initially many people thought that in cancer there was less DNA methylation, it turns out not to be so simple.
