Claim 1conceptual modelsupports2018Source 1DOIPubMed

Combinatorial interactions among known modified DNA bases suggest a more complex epigenetic code than previously appreciated.

Quoted textsource-backed
The potential for combinatorial interaction among the known modified DNA bases suggests that epigenetic codon is likely to be substantially more complicated than it is thought today.

Modified DNA bases are associated with regulation of cellular and developmental processes, stem cell pluripotency, neuron development, and tumor development in animals.

Quoted textsource-backed
The epigenetic marks are known to be associated with the regulation of several cellular and developmental processes, pluripotency of stem cells, neuron cell development, and tumor development in animals.
