Direct evidence for sequence-dependent attraction between double-stranded DNA controlled by methylation
Theoretical studies suggest that homologous DNA duplexes can preferentially associate with one another in the absence of proteins. Here, the authors show that GC-rich DNA with methylated cytosine and AT-rich DNA duplexes associate more strongly than GC-rich duplexes regardless of the sequence homolo...
