Changes in DNA methylation during mouse embryonic development in relation to X-chromosome activity and imprinting
30 Jan 1990
Abstract excerpt
Changing DNA methylation patterns during embryonic development are discussed in relation to differential gene expression, changes in X-chromosome activity and genomic imprinting. Sperm DNA is more methylated than oocyte DNA, both overall and for specific sequences. The methylation difference between the gametes could be one of the mechanisms (along with chromatin structure) regulating initial differences in...
