Abstract excerpt
Major epigenetic modifications apparently occur during early development in the mouse. The factors that induce such modifications are complex and may involve the various components of a zygote. We have started to explore whether changes in the nucleocytoplasmic composition brought about by micromanipulation can induce phenotypic effects through epigenetic modifications. Nucleocytoplasmic hybrids were therefore...
