CMT2 (source code)
= CMT2
{c}
A <plant> chromomethylase contributing strongly to <CHH methylation> in heterochromatic regions.
This complements other <plant> methylation systems that act preferentially in different sequence or <chromatin> contexts. Separating <CHH methylation> from symmetric CG or CHG contexts is important because the patterns have different maintenance requirements after replication. <Non-CG methylation patterns shape the epigenetic landscape in Arabidopsis by Hume Stroud and others>[2014, CMT2 and CHH methylation]{ref}
