Dna Methylation Work Methyl Groups Added Inhibits Binding

Front How does methylation of DNA work?
Back - methyl groups added to DNA
- inhibits binding of transcriptional factors to promoter 
- so RNA polymerase is not stimulated to transcribe the gene
- rate of transcription decreases
- less protein produced
