Majerová et al. (Plant Mol Biol, 2011) have recently reported that a considerable fraction of cytosines at tobacco telomeres is methylated. Although the data presented in this report indicate that tobacco telomeric sequences undergo certain levels of DNA methylation, it is not clear whether the methylated sequences are at telomeres, at internal chromosomal loci or at both.
马耶罗娃等人（植物分子生物学，2011 年）最近报道称，烟草端粒处的大量胞嘧啶发生了甲基化。尽管该报告中呈现的数据表明烟草端粒序列确实经历了一定程度的 DNA 甲基化，但甲基化序列是位于端粒、内部染色体位点还是两者皆有尚不清楚。
