DNA sequence-dependent activity and base flipping mechanisms of DNMT1 regulate genome-wide DNA methylation
DNA methylation is one of the major epigenetic mechanisms that critically influence gene expression, genomic stability and cell differentiation. Here, the authors study DNMT1 in complex with DNA substrates and systematically analyze the mechanism and specificity of DNMT1.
