In many species\, DNA methylation is established by a d e novo enzyme that can methylate unmethylated DNA. Such enzymes act in na rrow developmental windows and this initial activity is subsequently propa gated epigenetically via a maintenance enzyme specific for hemimethylated DNA. I will describe a species which lacks a de novo enzyme and only harb ors a maintenance enzyme.\n\nOrganizers can be contacted at m.tariq@lums.e du.pk or 22100032@lums.edu.pk for the zoom link.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/MCB_LUMS/16/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
