Gene silencing in mammalian cells and the spread of DNA
... Sp1 binding sites can prevent transgene (Siegfried et al., 1999) and retroviral (Hejnar et al., 2001) silencing. Additional studies provided evidence that DNA methylation patterns are not static in somatic cells, as often assumed, but instead can vary at individual CpG sites (Silva et al., 1993; Tur ...

Mutations are often thought of as negative because they disrupt the normal function of genes. However, without mutations, organisms cannot evolve, because mutations are the source of gen ...
