abstract：:It has been suggested that DNA methylation/demethylation is involved in regulating V(D)J rearrangement. Although methylated DNA is thought to induce an inaccessible chromatin structure, it is unclear whether DNA methylation can directly control V(D)J recombination independently of chromatin structure. In this study, w...
