Factors affecting de novo methylation of foreign DNA in mouse embryonic stem cells.
The Journal of biological chemistry - 20 Aug 1999
Hertz J M, Schell G, Doerfler W
Abstract excerpt
Integration of foreign DNA into an established host genome can lead to changes in methylation in both the inserted DNA and in host sequences and potentially alters transgene and cellular transcription patterns. This work addresses the questions of what factors influence de novo methylation, and whether the integration site or inserted DNA can affect de novo methylation. Homologous recombination was used to...
