What is DNA methylation?
Think about how this might affect transcription.
What effect does histone acetylation have?
Consider how the structure of chromatin affects gene accessibility.
What is the primary effect of DNA methylation on gene expression?
Remember that methylation is often associated with inactivity.
True or False: Histone acetylation promotes transcription by tightening chromatin.
Think about how the DNA structure relates to transcription.
Given a scenario where a researcher observes increased DNA methylation in a cancerous cell line, what could be the potential implications for gene expression?
Consider how gene silencing relates to the characteristics of cancer cells.
