The DNA methyltransferase DNMT1 is essential for cell viability in various mouse models,
but gene targeting in human tumor cells results in a viable line. This dilemma has now been
resolved using a new human DNMT1 knockout line, although new questions arise as to the
full extent of DNMT1 function in maintaining genome integrity.
