Abstract excerpt
Methylation patterns of the mammalian genome are thought to be crucial for development. The precise mechanisms designating specific genomic loci for methylation are not known. Targeted deletion of Lsh results in perinatal lethality with a rather normal development. We report here, however, that Lsh(-/-) mice show substantial loss of methylation throughout the genome. The hypomethylated loci comprise repetitive...
