Sequence features accurately predict genome-wide MeCP2 binding in vivo

MeCP2 is critical for proper brain development, and mutations in the gene encoding MeCP2 are responsible for several neurological disorders. Here, the authors show that the previously reported genome-wide preference of MeCP2 to methylated CpGs is in part due to MeCP2's affinity to GC-rich chrom...
