What are the roles of DNA methylation and epigenetic reprogramming of paternal/ maternal and embryonic genomes...
Homework Answers
Methylation of DNA is an essential epigenetic control mechanism in mammals. This methylation pattern is inherited from paerents. The paternal and maternal genomes are not equivalent and both are required for mammalian development.The difference between the parental genomes is believed to be due to gamete-specific differential modification. This process is known as genomic imprinting. Methylation can be inherited in a parent of origin specific manner.
DNA methylation plays an important role in sex chromosome dosage compensation, the repression of retrotransposons that threaten genome integrity, the maintenance of genome stability, and the coordinated expression of imprinted genes.

describe how the Methyl-directed mismatch repair system in E. coli which DNA strand is the correct strand and determines which DNA strand has the mutation. describe how DNA methylation is heritable during replication how epigenetic modifications are involved in genomic imprinting, X-inactivation, and regulation of tissue/cell specific gene expression (including the general roles of TrxG and PcG group proteins). ***Are these heritable during mitosis or meiosis? Are these reversible? Can you support your answer?
