Abstract excerpt
The Dlk1-Dio3 imprinted domain on mouse chromosome 12 contains IG-DMR and Gtl2-DMR, whose methylation patterns are established in the germline and after fertilization, respectively. In this study, we determine that acquisition of DNA methylation at the paternal allele of the Gtl2-DMR is initiated after the blastocyst stage and completed by embryonic day 6.5, and that Gtl2 (approved symbol: Meg3) is...
