Scientific Background:  DNA methylation of cytosine to 5-methyl cytosine (5-mC) is an epigenetic mark that is relatively common in both plants and mammals and plays a role in transcriptional and chromatin regulation. In healthy cells, DNA methylation occurs at CpG sites, but CpG islands are generally not modified. However, tumor cells show an increase in CpG island methylation and a decrease in individual CpG sites. This ‘hypo-methylation’ can lead to aberrant activation of genes.
