Genome-wide binding of MBD2 reveals strong preference for highly methylated loci.

Genome-wide binding of MBD2 reveals strong preference for highly methylated loci.

MBD2 is a subunit of the NuRD complex that is postulated to mediate gene repression via recruitment of the complex to methylated DNA. In this study we adopted an MBD2 tagging-approach to study its genome wide binding characteristics. We show that in vivo MBD2 is mainly recruited to CpG island promot...
