Plant-RRBS: DNA Methylome Profiling Adjusted to Plant Genomes, Utilizing Efficient Endonuclease Combinations, for Multi-Sample Studies
In plants, methylation at cytosines often leads to changes in gene expression and inactivation of transposable elements. Changes in cytosine methylation (epimutations) might produce epialleles with distinct ph...
