Postnatal DNA demethylation and its role in tissue maturation

Here the authors show that a large fraction of the tissue-specific methylation pattern is generated postnatally. These changes, which occur in response to hormone signaling, appear to play a major role in the regulation of gene expression and tissue maturation in the liver.
