Affinity-based enrichment strategies to assay methyl-CpG binding activity and DNA methylation in early <it>Xenopus </it>embryos

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>DNA methylation is a widespread epigenetic modification in vertebrate genomes. Genomic sites of DNA methylation can be bound by methyl-CpG-binding domain proteins (MBDs) and specific zinc finger proteins, which can recruit co-repress...
