TET proteins safeguard bivalent promoters from de novo methylation in human embryonic stem cells

N Verma, H Pan, LC Doré, A Shukla, QV Li… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Abstract TET enzymes oxidize 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC),
which can lead to DNA demethylation. However, direct connections between TET-mediated …
