Dynamic instability of genomic methylation patterns in pluripotent stem cells
24 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genomic methylation patterns are established during gametogenesis, and perpetuated in somatic cells by faithful maintenance methylation. There have been previous indications that genomic methylation patterns may be less stable in embryonic stem (ES) cells than in differentiated somatic cells, but it is not known whether different mechanisms of de novo and maintenance methylation operate in pluripotent...
