DNA methylation modulates nucleosome retention in sperm and H3K4 methylation deposition in early mouse embryos
7 Jan 2025
Abstract excerpt
In the germ line and during early embryogenesis, DNA methylation (DNAme) undergoes global erasure and re-establishment to support germ cell and embryonic development. While DNAme acquisition during male germ cell development is essential for setting genomic DNA methylation imprints, other intergenerational roles for paternal DNAme in defining embryonic chromatin are unknown. Through conditional gene deletion of...
