The covalent transfer of a methyl group to C-5 or N-4 of cytosine in a DNA molecule. Repression of transcription by altering the structure of chromatin, e.g. by conversion of large regions of DNA into an inaccessible state often called heterochromatin. The covalent transfer of a methyl group to C-5 of cytosine in a DNA molecule. The covalent transfer of a methyl group to C-5 of cytosine in a DNA molecule that contributes to chromatin silencing. Repression of transcription by methylation of DNA, leading to the formation of heterochromatin. The alteration of DNA or protein in chromatin by the covalent addition or removal of chemical groups.
