Abstract excerpt
For epigenetic phenotypes to be passed on from one generation to the next, it is required that epigenetic marks between generations are not cleared during the two stages of epigenetic reprogramming: mammalian gametogenesis and preimplantation development. The molecular nature of the chromatin marks involved in these events is unknown. Using the epigenetically inherited allele Axin1(Fu) (the result of a...
