H3K9 Methyltransferase EHMT2/G9a Controls ERVK-Driven Noncanonical Imprinted Genes
1 Aug 2021
Abstract excerpt
Aim: Paternal allele-specific expression of noncanonical imprinted genes in the extraembryonic lineages depends on an H3K27me3-based imprint in the oocyte, which is not a lasting mark. We hypothesized that EHMT2, the main euchromatic H3K9 dimethyltransferase, also has a role in controlling noncanonical imprinting. Methods: We carried out allele-specific total RNA-seq analysis in the ectoplacental cone of...
