The epigenetic mechanism presented is


referred to as DNA methylation in which a
methyl group is transferred to the C5 part of
"

'

cytosine, forming 5- methylcytosine.

This particular DNA methylation is controlled,

causing gene repression due to the inhibited

transcription factors in the DNA structure.
