Cell type-specific DNA methylation patterns are established during mammalian development and maintained in adult somatic cells. Understanding how these patterns of 5-methylcytosine are established and maintained requires the elucidation of mechanisms for both DNA methylation and demethylation. The enzymes involved in the de novo methylation of DNA and the maintenance of the resulting methylation patterns have been fairly well characterized.
Fijians speak a variety of dialects and a common language known as Bauan-Fijian this is spoken in Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, Kandavu, Lau, Yasawas, Taveuni and many other 300+ islands in Fiji. Out of all the Fijian language, the Nadroga/Navosa dialect has been claimed to be the most confusing one.
(January 2008) Vanua Levu (pronounced [Î²aËnua ËleÎ²u]), formerly known as Sandalwood Island, is the second largest island of Fiji. Located 64 kilometres (40 miles) to the north of the larger Viti Levu, the island has an area of 5,587.1 square kilometres (2,157.2 sq mi) and a population of 135,961 as of 2007.
