DNA methylation and epigenetic control of cellular differentiation
Open accessAbstract
In mammals the genome is shaped by epigenetic regulation to manifest numerous cellular identities. The term epigenetics has been used to refer to changes in gene expression, which are heritable through multiple cell division cycles that are not due to variations in primary DNA sequence. Stable suppression of differentiation genes is required to sustain the undifferentiated state in cells ranging from embryonic stem cells to somatic stem cell progenitors that constantly replenish self-renewing tissues. However, the epigenetic mechanisms behind the maintenance of cellular dedifferentiation are not yet fully understood. Major effectors of epigenetic control include regulators of DNA methylation and histone modification as well as ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling enzymes. These interact with other regulators, such as DNA sequence-specific transcription factors and noncoding RNAs to landscape the genome during development, differentiation and cancer. DNA methylation is a classic and powerful example of the epigenetic inheritance of cellular identity that is widely used in eukaryotes. DNA methylation confers distinct epigenetic states via several mechanisms. Here we discuss fundamental mechanisms of DNA methylation and their interplay with several regulatory pathways that define cellular physiology and differentiation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
