Tet proteins: on track towards DNA demethylation?
Dynamic DNA methylation is a prerequisite for many developmental processes and maintenance of cellular integrity. In mammals however, mechanisms of active DNA demethylation have for long been elusive. The discovery of the ten-eleven translocation (Tet) family of enzymes that oxidize 5-methylcytosine...
