Pyro Q-CpG from Biotage gives a new dimension to DNA methylation studies by quantitatively measuring the individual degree of methylation of consecutive CpG sites consistently over time.

Cytosine methylation of CpG dinucleotide clusters ... attracts chromodomain binding proteins (heterochromatin protein, HP1) that maintain the heterochromatin state. What lends to further ...

Histone deacetylases (HDAC) remove acetyl groups from lysine residues making way for methylation. HP1 recognizes MeK9 and also associates with histone methyltransferases (HMT), DNA methyltransferases ...
