Differential adenine methylation analysis reveals increased variability in 6mA in the absence of methyl-directed mismatch repair

ABSTRACT Methylated DNA adenines (6mA) are a critical epigenetic modification in bacteria that affect cell processes like replication, stress response, and pathogenesis. While much work has been done characterizing the influence of 6mA on specific loci, very few studies have examined the evolutionar...
