Deskripsi

DNA methylation in the brain is a dynamic process, but gene-specific regulation of this process is poorly understood. Here, Day and colleagues show that extra-coding RNAs interact with DNA methyltransferases and regulate neuronal DNA methylation to control gene expression in locus-specific manner in neurons.
