Abstract excerpt
DNA methylation plays a critical role in the regulation of chromatin structure and gene expression and is involved in a variety of biological processes. The levels and patterns of DNA methylation are regulated by both DNA methyltransferases (DNMT1, DNMT3A and DNMT3B) and 'demethylating' proteins, including the ten-eleven translocation (TET) family of dioxygenases (TET1, TET2 and TET3). The effects of DNA...
