Evolutionary and functional analysis of DNA methyltransferases in micro-eukaryotes: Insights from the model diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum [Bisulfite-Seq]

ABSTRACT: DNA methylation has been associated with transcriptional repression of transposable elements. Here we describe the first DNA methylation deficient cell line of a diatom by generating DNMT5:KOs in Phaeodactylum tricornutum. These data show the extend of the loss of DNA methylation in DNMT5:KOs compared to the reference strain. All DNA methylation is lost in DNMT5:KOs.
