Dynamic CpG and Non-CpG Methylation of the Peg1/Mest Gene in the Mouse Oocyte and Preimplantation Embryo
19 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
In somatic tissues, the CpG island of the imprinted Peg1/Mest gene is methylated on the maternal allele. We have examined the methylation of CpG and non-CpG sites of this differentially methylated CpG island in freshly ovulated oocytes, in vitro aged oocytes, and preimplantation embryos. The CpG methylation pattern was heterogeneous in freshly ovulated oocytes, despite the fact that they all were arrested in...
