Role of the Dnmt3 family in de novo methylation of imprinted and repetitive sequences during male germ cell development in the mouse
6 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification regulating various biological phenomena, including genomic imprinting and transposon silencing. It is known that methylation of the differentially methylated regions (DMRs) associated with paternally imprinted genes and of some repetitive elements occurs during male germ cell development in the mouse. We have performed a detailed methylation analysis of the...
