22 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
We provide an overview of epigenetic mechanisms comprising DNA methylation, histone modification, and RNA-associated silencing of gene expression by noncoding RNAs and subsequently focus attention on germ cell—specific epigenetic processes including histone to protamine exchange in haploid spermatids, genomic imprinting, and reprogramming of epigenetic information after fertilization. Finally, aberrant epigenetic...
