DNA mutation and alkylation

DNA mutation and alkylation
CROET Faculty: Mitchell Turker, PhD: "Abnormal gene inactivation results from two distinct types of events. The first is DNA mutation, which represents a change in the structure of DNA that alters expression of a given gene. The second type of event is DNA methylation, which causes silencing of a gene without affecting the gene sequence. "
