Popis: Our knowledge of DNA methylation systems in prokaryotes is mostly limited to those of culturable microbes. Here, Hiraoka et al. analyse DNA methylation patterns in metagenomic data from a microbial community, revealing new methylated motifs and experimentally validating the methyltransferases’ specificities.
