ABSTRACT:
A novel cytosine-5 DNA methyltransferase, isolated from Chlorella virus NYs-1, and its encoded enzyme are disclosed. The methyltransferase recognizes a GpC dinucleotide in DNA. Methods of using the novel methyltransferase in high resolution chromatin mapping and related techniques are also disclosed.
