Bacterial N4-methylcytosine as an epigenetic mark in eukaryotic DNA
Eukaryotic DNA can be methylated as 5-methylcytosine and N6-methyladenine, but whether other forms of DNA methylation occur has been controversial. Here the authors show that a bacterial DNA methyltransferase was acquired >60 Mya in bdelloid rotifers that catalyzes N4-methylcytosine addition and is...
