A plant DNMT3 induces non-CG methylation and affects gene expression in human cells
Summary CG methylation is the predominant form of DNA methylation across eukaryotes, whereas non-CG methylation in vertebrates is largely restricted to neurons and embryonic stem cells and is mediated by DNMT3 enzymes. In contrast, plant DNMT3 homologs catalyze extensive non-CG methylation across diverse tissues. To te...
