Deskripsi
The family of DNA methyltransferases (Dnmts) consists of four catalytically active enzymes that catalyze DNA methylation and also play a role as transcriptional regulators. Here the authors show that catalytically inactive Dnmt3b rescues a majority of methylation and expression changes in the absence of Dnmt3b during mouse embryonic development.
