Popis: MeCP2 is critical for proper brain development, and mutations in the gene encoding MeCP2 are responsible for several neurological disorders. Here, the authors show that the previously reported genome-wide preference of MeCP2 to methylated CpGs is in part due to MeCP2's affinity to GC-rich chromatin.
