Sex- and tissue-specific, but hormonally independent, demethylation at the 3'-end of Xenopus vitellogenin gene B1

We describe three HpaII-specifying sequences in 6 kbp of DNA at the 3'-end of Xenopus vitellogenin gene B1 (two within the coding sequence and one downstream) which remain methylated in all tissues of adult male Xenopus. These sites are however fully demethylated exclusively in adult female Xen...
