Deskripsi
Silencing of endogenous retroviruses is crucial for maintaining transcriptional and genomic integrity of cells and is maintained by histone H3K9 methylation and/or DNA methylation in various cell types. Here the authors show that loss of DNA methyltransferase DNMT1 in endoderm results in ERV derepression while H3K9me3 is unaltered.
