Strand-specific single-cell methylomics reveals distinct modes of DNA demethylation dynamics during early mammalian development
24 Feb 2021
Abstract excerpt
DNA methylation (5mC) is central to cellular identity. The global erasure of 5mC from the parental genomes during preimplantation mammalian development is critical to reset the methylome of gametes to the cells in the blastocyst. While active and passive modes of demethylation have both been suggested to play a role in this process, the relative contribution of these two mechanisms to 5mC erasure remains unclear....
