Oh, I meant that DNA methylation (resp. phosphorylation, acetylation, etc.) wasn't preserved through the uploading / "DNA printing" process. (And I don't think the cells in question had histones.) You're right that there is potential epigenetic variation in other parts of the cell as well, but I was thinking specifically of DNA methylation.

I don't actually know much about how position-specific current transgenic techniques are, so I could be wrong about that.
