The essential role of <i>Dnmt1</i> in gametogenesis in the large milkweed bug <i>Oncopeltus fasciatus</i>

Abstract excerpt
Given the importance of DNA methylation in protection of the genome against transposable elements and transcriptional regulation in other taxonomic groups, the diversity in both levels and patterns of DNA methylation in the insects raises questions about its function and evolution. We show that the maintenance DNA methyltransferase, DNMT1, affects meiosis and is essential to fertility in milkweed bugs, Oncopeltus...
