Histone H3K36me2 and H3K36me3 form a chromatin platform essential for DNMT3A-dependent DNA methylation in mouse oocytes
DNMT3A is known to methylate DNA at histone H3 lysine 36 (H3K36me3)-marked transcriptionally active regions in mouse oocytes. Here the authors show that DNMT3A is also guided by H3K36me2 to methylate broad domains in genic and intergenic loci, as well as on the X chromosome. These two histone marks...
