Cover illustration: Methylation Profile of Integrated Adenovirus Type 12 DNA In the genome of the Ad12-transformed hamster cell line TR12, one copy of Ad12 DNA (green line) and a fragment of about 3.9kb from the right terminus (red line) of the Ad12 genome are chromosomally integrated (fluorescent in situ hybridization, upper left corner of illustration). The integrated viral sequence has remained practically identical with the sequence of the virion DNA. All 1634 CpG´s in this de novo methylated viral insert have been investigated for their methylation status by bisulfite sequencing. A small segment of these data is shown at the bottom of the graph. Open symbols indicate unmethylated CpG´s, closed symbols methylated 5-mCpG dinucleotides. This figure has been prepared by Norbert Hochstein, Institute for Clinical and Molecular Virology, Erlangen University and is based on data from a manuscript in preparation (N. Hochstein, I. Muiznieks, H. Brondke, W. Doerfler).
