DNA methylation provided one of the first clues to the mechanisms of epigenetic regulation, explaining mysterious phenomena like transgene silencing in plants and oddities of inheritance in maize ( Zea mays ) and other species. Further research revealed that genomic DNA, and the histones that bundle
