Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus, nucleoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19001877, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20417597}. Chromosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19001877, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20417597}. Note=Punctate expression throughout the nucleoplasm and enriched in the perinucleolar region (PubMed:19001877, PubMed:20417597). Specifically nucleates at CpG islands where it's presence results in chromatin depleted in H3K36me2 (PubMed:19001877, PubMed:20417597). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19001877, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20417597}.
