Metaepigenomic analysis reveals the unexplored diversity of DNA methylation in an environmental prokaryotic community.

abstract：:How electronic charge is distributed over a molecule determines to a large extent its chemical properties. Here, we demonstrate how the electrostatic force field, originating from the inhomogeneous charge distribution in a molecule, can be measured with submolecular resolution. We exploit the fact that distortions typ...
