Targeted DNA demethylation in human cells by fusion of a plant 5-methylcytosine DNA glycosylase to a sequence-specific DNA binding domain
DNA methylation is a crucial epigenetic mark associated to gene silencing, and its targeted removal is a major goal of epigenetic editing. In animal cells, DNA demethylation involves iterative 5mC oxidation by TET enzymes followed by replication-dependent dilution and/or replication-independent DNA...
