DNA methylation and gene expression dynamics during spermatogonial stem cell differentiation in the early postnatal mouse testis

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In the male germline, neonatal prospermatogonia give rise to spermatogonia, which include stem cell population (undifferentiated spermatogonia) that supports continuous spermatogenesis in adults. Although the levels of DNA methyltransferases change dynamically in the neonatal and early postnatal male germ cells, detailed genome-wide DNA methylation profiles of these cells during the stem cell...
