N4-Cytosine DNA Methylation Is Involved in the Maintenance of Genomic Stability in Deinococcus radiodurans

DNA methylation serves as a vital component of restriction-modification (R-M) systems in bacteria, where it plays a crucial role in defense against foreign DNA. Recent studies revealed that DNA methylation has a global impact on gene expression. Deinococcus radiodurans, an ideal model organism for s...
