Methylation, a fundamental epigenetic process whereby carbon groups are attached to DNA to either silence it or promote its expression, is quintessential to
cellular processes including detoxification, metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, mitochondrial
energy production, central nervous system function, cell cycle
