Intron retention is regulated by altered MeCP2-mediated splicing factor recruitment

Intron retention is a conserved mechanism that controls gene expression but its regulation is poorly understood. Here, the authors provide evidence that DNA methylation regulates intron retention and find reduced MeCP2 occupancy and splicing factor recruitment near affected splice junctions.
