Editorial: DNA Methylation Dynamics and Human Diseases

Abstract

Editorial on the Research Topic DNA Methylation Dynamics and Human DiseasesDNA methylation is a biological process that adds methyl groups to DNA molecules. It regulates chromatin architecture and transcription, and plays essential roles in a wide range of biological processes (Li et al., 2013;Li et al., 2018;Roy et al., 2021).
