Mammalian genomes express two principal gene categories through RNA polymerase II-
mediated transcription: protein-coding transcription units and non-coding RNA transcription …

Plant intra-individual and inter-individual variation can be determined by the epigenome, a
set of covalent modifications of DNA and chromatin that can alter genome structure and …

RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is a biological process in which non-coding RNA
molecules direct the addition of DNA methylation to specific DNA sequences. The RdDM …

The terms genome engineering, genome editing, and gene editing, refer to modifications
(insertions, deletions, substitutions) in the genome of a living organism. The most widely …

INTRODUCTION Epigenetic modifications to chromatin, such as the methylation of DNA
