Determination of Rates and Patterns of Recombination at the Maize Red Color (r1) Locus
William R. Dietrich
- 01 Jan 1998
TL;DR: The hypothesis that recombination in maize primari ly occurs i ntragenical ly and that r1 serves as a recombinat ion hot spot in the maize genome is supported.

Targeted mutation of the DNA methyltransferase gene results in embryonic lethality.
TL;DR: Results indicate that while a 3-fold reduction in levels of genomic m5C has no detectable effect on the viability or proliferation of ES cells in culture, a similar reduction of DNA methylation in embryos causes abnormal development and embryonic lethality.

Role for DNA methylation in genomic imprinting
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a normal level of DNA methylation is required for controlling differential expression of the paternal and maternal alleles of imprinted genes in mutant mice that are deficient in DNA methyltransferase activity.

Cytosine methylation and the ecology of intragenomic parasites
TL;DR: It has become increasingly difficult to hold that reversible promoter methylation is commonly involved in developmental gene control; instead, suppression of parasitic sequence elements appears to be the primary function of cytosine methylation, with crucial secondary roles in allele-specific gene expression as seen in X inactivation and genomic imprinting.

Role for DNA methylation in genomic imprinting
TL;DR: The authors showed that a normal level of DNA methylation is required for controlling differential expression of the paternal and maternal alleles of imprinted genes in mutant mice that are deficient in DNA methyltransferase activity.

Tetrahymena Histone Acetyltransferase A: A Homolog to Yeast Gcn5p Linking Histone Acetylation to Gene Activation
J. E. Brownell,J. Zhou,Tamara A. Ranalli,R. Kobayashi,Diane G. Edmondson,S. Y. Roth,C. D. Allis +6 more
TL;DR: These findings shed light on the biochemical function of the evolutionarily conserved Gcn5p-Ada complex, directly linking histone acetylation to gene activation, and indicate that histoneacetylation is a targeted phenomenon.
