Variability in allelic DNA methylation in spermatozoa.
Human genetics - 1 Aug 1994

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 unmethylated and the inactive regions being methylated. We show here that DNA from spermatozoa exhibits variations in...
