Abstract excerpt
Maintaining genomic integrity in mammalian early embryos, which are deficient in DNA damage repair, is critical for normal preimplantation and subsequent development. Abnormalities in DNA damage repair in preimplantation embryos can cause not only developmental arrest, but also diseases such as congenital disorders and cancers. Histone H4 lysine 20 monomethylation (H4K20me1) is involved in DNA damage repair and...
