Abstract：
As an important epigenetic modification, DNA methylation is involved in many biological processes such as animal cell differentiation, embryonic development, genomic imprinting and sex chromosome inactivation. As DNA methylation sequencing becomes more sophisticated, it becomes possible to use it to solve more zoological problems. This paper reviews the characteristics of DNA methylation, with emphasis on the research and application of DNA methylation in poultry.
摘要：
作为一种重要的表观遗传修饰,DNA甲基化参与许多生物过程，如动物细胞分化，胚胎发育,基因组印记和性染色体失活。随着DNA甲基化测序变得越来越复杂，有可能用它来解决更多的动物学问题。本文综述了DNA甲基化的特点,重点介绍了家禽DNA甲基化的研究和应用。
