Chung-Ang University Study Unravels the Role of DNA Methylation in Oceanic Microbial Communities

Thursday, December 8, 2022

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- DNA methylation is a biological process through which methyl groups are added to the genetic material. It is used as an epigenetic strategy by prokaryotes to perform an array of functions such as protection against viral invasion using restriction-modification (RM) systems. However, there is limited understanding of its role in microbial ecology.

Key Points: 
  • "In-depth DNA methylation project began only in 2014, with the release of long-read sequencers.This sparked our curiosity and we wanted to apply it to microbial ecology.
  • Hence, we used a metagenomics approach to explore DNA methylation in a community rather than at an organism level," says Prof. Sul.
  • Furthermore, the identification of methylated motifs revealed unique DNA methylation patterns, which eventually led to the discovery of a distinct methylation profile in Alphaproteobacteria.
  • In conclusion, Prof. Sul surmises, "Our study will help discover candidate targets to prevent pathogenicity in the environment.
