High-throughput engineering of a mammalian genome reveals building principles of methylation states at CG rich regions

The majority of mammalian promoters are CpG islands; regions of high CG density that require protection from DNA methylation to be functional. Importantly, how sequence architecture mediates this unmethylated state remains unclear. To address this question in a comprehensive manner, we developed a m...
