• To address this question, we used Restriction Landmark Genome Scanning to analyze the susceptibility of 1,749 unselected CpG islands to de novo methylation driven by overexpression of DNA cytosine-5-methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1). —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
• And it would not hurt to re-visit the following movies, "Gattaca" (which is an anagram on the building blocks of molecullar biology / DNA -- [adenosine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine = gattaca], the genetic code which is written using four "letters", G, A, T, and C, each of which represents a molecule known as a nulceotide), —  BEAUTIFUL, ALSO, ARE THE SOULS OF MY BLACK SISTERS
• Uracil is normally only found in DNA as a breakdown product of cytosine, but —  Citizendium, the Citizens' Compendium - Recent changes [en]
• To monitor this activity, we measured the ratio of 5-methyl cytosine to unmethylated cytosine in reelin and GAD67 promoters in the mouse frontal cortex and striatum. —  Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences current issue
• "We will use reference maps of these two processes to examine how chromatin modifications and DNA methylation change during differentiation of pluripotent stems cells to different cell types," said Joseph Ecker, Ph. D., professor at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, who will head the project to map cytosine methylation sites across the human genome. —  Media Newswire
