A role for methyl-CpG binding domain protein 2 in olfactory neuronal development

Methylation of DNA is a common modification of CpG di-nucleotides and is associated with transcriptional repression. This mechanism of gene silencing can be mediated by methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD) proteins, which form repressor complexes that are important in linking DNA methylation and trans...
