HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Alexey Fomenkov from the University of Freiburg, Germany have published the research: Complete genome assembly and methylome dissection of Methanococcus aeolicus PL15/H p, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
- what: The authors report the genome sequence and methylome of Methanococcus aeolicus PL15/Hp, results which enabled the identification of genes encoding five RM-systems.
SUMMARY
The role of DNA methylation in the restriction-modification (RM) mechanisms of bacteria and archaea was discovered more than 50 years ago (Arber, 1974; Loenen et_al, 2014). Bacterial and archaeal DNA methyltransferases (MTases) create an epigenetic . . .
