Variability in allelic DNA methylation in spermatozoa.

Human genetics - 1 Aug 1994

Kochanek S, Renz D, Doerfler W

Abstract excerpt

In certain segments of human DNA, the methylation of deoxycytidine residues has been found to be highly specific and interindividually conserved. Imprinted DNA sequences in diploid primary cells show allele-specific differences in DNA methylation, usually with the active chromosomal regions being...
