The rise and fall of a networked society: a formal model.

abstract：:Cytosine methylation is an epigenetic mark that promotes gene silencing and plays important roles in development and genome defense against transposons. Methylation patterns are established and maintained by DNA methyltransferases that catalyze transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to cytosine bases ...
