Evolutionary epigenomic analyses in mammalian early embryos reveal species-specific innovations and conserved principles of imprinting
24 Nov 2021
Abstract excerpt
While mouse remains the most popular model, the conservation of parental-to-embryonic epigenetic transition across mammals is poorly defined. Through analysis of oocytes and early embryos in human, bovine, porcine, rat, and mouse, we revealed remarkable species-specific innovations as no single animal model fully recapitulates the human epigenetic transition. In rodent oocytes, transcription-dependent DNA...
