RNA Silencing Genes Control de Novo DNA Methylation

Cytosine DNA methylation silences harmful DNAs such as transposons and retroviruses ([ 1 ][1]). Maintenance DNA methyltransferases propagate pre-existing DNA methylation in the CG sequence context by methylating hemi-methylated sites after DNA replication. Much less is understood about how invasive
