Abstract excerpt
In somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos, developmental defects first appear at the time of zygotic genome activation (ZGA), a process that is under the control of DNA and histone methylation. However, dynamics of 5-mC and 5-hmC during ZGA differ between porcine and bovine SCNT embryos, and histone methylation during ZGA in goat SCNT embryos remains poorly understood. Therefore, in the present study, we...
