CpG methylation is maintained in human cancer cells lacking DNMT1

Hypermethylation is associated with the silencing of tumour susceptibility genes in several forms of cancer 1 , 2 ; however, the mechanisms responsible for this aberrant methylation are poorly understood 3 , 4 . The prototypic DNA methyltransferase, DNMT1, has been widely assumed to be responsible f...
