Enhanced CRISPR-based DNA demethylation by Casilio-ME-mediated RNA-guided coupling of methylcytosine oxidation and DNA repair pathways

DNA methylation plays an important role in regulating a wide variety of cellular processes and is implicated in a range of diseases. Here the authors present Casilio-ME to assemble protein complexes to demethylate target loci.
