Abstract excerpt
DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) are the key enzymes for genome methylation, which plays an important role in epigenetically regulated gene expression and repression. Mouse models with conditional knockout of the DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) and DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) genes have revealed a role of DNA methylation in mediating the self-renewal and differentiation of normal hematopoietic stem cells...
