Abstract

Ontrary to genetic changes of DNA molecule which change exactly the sequence of DNA and are not reversible, the DNA methylation involves in addition of a methyl group to cytosine nucleotide to control genes expression which is reversible [1,2]. Methylation is unique change that consequence in different gene expression pattern and finally may trigger the onset of diseases like cancer [3]. Epigenetic reprogramming in cancer cells represents a unique methylation landscape concerning the net loss of global DNA methylation simultaneously with an increase in the levels of in CpGs islands. So, cancer epigenetically reprogrammed methylation landscape (i.e., Methylscape) can be a common feature exhibited by most cancer types and therefore can be a universal cancer biomarker. The DNA methylation in molecular level change the gene expression pattern of the cell but methylation can change the physicochemical properties of DNA polymer in solution including DNA structure and its affinity as well.
