The transgenic IG-DMR sequence of the mouse Dlk1-Dio3 domain acquired imprinted DNA methylation during the post-fertilization period
17 Feb 2023
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Allele-specific methylation of the imprinting control region (ICR) is the molecular basis for the genomic imprinting phenomenon that is unique to placental mammals. We previously showed that the ICR at the mouse H19 gene locus (H19 ICR) was unexpectedly established after fertilization and not during spermatogenesis in transgenic mice (TgM), and that the same activity was essential for the maintenance...
