So the, uh, the thing is that those enzymes that modify DNA and methylate them are called DNA methyltransferases, so DNMTs, and they can work in different ways, right? So they can put new methylation groups there, and they can maintain the methylation, whi-which refers to what you just said, Daniel, because it's-- You know, if you have cell division, you will lose one side of the methylation, and you will need to propagate this information, so you will need to make sure that both strands are methylated to pass the information on.

So this is also a-another way of, like, maintaining the methylation, and then there are different enzymes that do that.

And then there are also further enzymes that can, like, modify this modification even further, right? Because you can oxidize the methylation group, which will be then the, the 10-11 translocation, so the Tet enzymes, maybe you might have heard that.
