DNA Methylation

Cited from the paper Integration of CpG-free DNA induces de novo methylation of CpG islands in pluripotent stem cells

Genome-wide single-base–resolution mammalian methylome studies have revealed that most of the cytosine in CpG dinucleotides is methylated, presumably during blastocyst to early postimplantation stages by DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A)– and/or DNMT3B-mediated de novo methylation.
