Genome-wide oxidative bisulfite sequencing identifies sex-specific methylation differences in the human placenta
29 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
DNA methylation is an important regulator of gene function. Fetal sex is associated with the risk of several specific pregnancy complications related to placental function. However, the association between fetal sex and placental DNA methylation remains poorly understood. We carried out whole-genome oxidative bisulfite sequencing in the placentas of two healthy female and two healthy male pregnancies generating...
