Abstract

DNA methyltransferase is needed for normal development, perhaps because DNA methylation plays a part in the control of gene activity. It is clear that the methylation of promoters often leads to repression of transcription. Studies of the mechanism suggest that repression may either result from the direct effects of methylation on transcription factors, or may be indirectly caused by repressor proteins that bind to methylated DNA. Current evidence suggests that both mechanisms can be involved.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
