Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Scheme of DNA maintenance methylation by a maintenance methyltransferase such as DNMT1. The black pins represent methylation.

CpGs that were methylated on both strands of the original DNA (left) will be methylated on both strands of the daughter DNA (right), whereas CpGs that were unmethylated in the original DNA will not be methylated in the daughter DNA. Maintenance methyltransferases recognize single-side methylated CpGs and methylate the complementary strand of those CpGs (red arrow).
