The essential role of Dnmt1 in gametogenesis in the large milkweed bug Oncopeltus fasciatus

Given the importance of DNA methylation in protection of the genome against transposable elements and transcriptional regulation in other taxonomic groups, the diversity in both levels and patterns of DNA methylation in the insects raises questions about its function and evolution. We show that the...
