Methylation
Methylation is the process of adding a methyl group (a carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms) to a molecule. It is an important biological process that plays a role in regulating gene expression, DNA replication, and other essential cellular functions in both plants and animals. In humans, methylation is essential for proper development, as it helps control which parts of our DNA code are activated and used. Defects in methylation can lead to many diseases, including cancer. Methylation is also used in epigenetic research and biomedicine, allowing scientists to study the role of DNA modifications in controlling gene expression, cellular differentiation, and development.
