A large fraction of the animal genome is maintained in a transcriptionally repressed state throughout development. By generating viable Dnmt1(-)(/)(-) mouse cells we have been able to study the effect of DNA methylation on both gene expression and chromatin structure. Our results confirm that the underlying methylation pattern has a profound effect on histone acetylation and is the major effector of me-H3(K4) in the animal genome. We demonstrate that many methylated genes are subject to addition ...[more]
