GlossaryDNA methylation

chemical modification of DNA that can regulate gene expression

DNA methylation is a biological process where a methyl group is added to the DNA molecule, typically at cytosine bases. This modification can change the activity of a DNA segment without altering the sequence, often leading to gene silencing. It's a crucial mechanism in regulating gene expression and is involved in various processes, including development, aging, and disease.
