Catalytically inactive Dnmt3b rescues mouse embryonic development by accessory and repressive functions

The family of DNA methyltransferases (Dnmts) consists of four catalytically active enzymes that catalyze DNA methylation and also play a role as transcriptional regulators. Here the authors show that catalytically inactive Dnmt3b rescues a majority of methylation and expression changes in the absenc...
