Single-base resolution of mouse offspring brain methylome reveals epigenome modifications caused by gestational folic acid
3 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epigenetic modifications, such as cytosine methylation in CpG-rich regions, regulate multiple functions in mammalian development. Maternal nutrients affecting one-carbon metabolism during gestation can exert long-term effects on the health of the progeny. Using C57BL/6 J mice, we investigated whether the amount of ingested maternal folic acid (FA) during gestation impacted DNA methylation in the...
