Recurrent acquisition of cytosine methyltransferases into eukaryotic retrotransposons

Recurrent acquisition of cytosine methyltransferases into eukaryotic retrotransposons

Cytosine methyltransferases (DNMTs) often silence transposons in eukaryotic genomes. Here the authors describe the recurrent acquisition of DNMTs by transposons from two distantly-related eukaryotes and suggest that methylation of CG dinucleotides by transposon DNMTs could modify the host epigenome...
