In aiming to explain the establishment, maintenance and stability of methylation pattern in gene body of Arabidopsis we propose here a theoretical framework for understanding how the methylated and unmethylated states of cytosine residues are maintained and transmitted during DNA replication. Routed in statistical mechanics, the framework built herein is used to explore minimal models of epigenetic inheritance and identify the necessary conditions for stability of methylated/unmethylated states of cytosine over rounds of DNA replication. The models are flexible enough to allow adding new biological concepts and information.
