Interplay between the role of DNA methylation in regulating gene expression and TE-silencing in a reptilian methylome.
It is shown that CpG islands in gene transcriptional start sites are typically hypomethylated and associated with higher gene expression, consistent with a host-defence role in suppressing transposition activity.
