Temporal and spatial regulation of H19 imprinting in normal and uniparental mouse embryos
1 Dec 1995
Abstract excerpt
The mouse H19 gene is imprinted so that the paternal copy is both methylated and repressed during fetal development. However, the CpG-rich promoter region encompassing the transcription start is not methylated in sperm; this region must therefore become methylated postzygotically. We first examined the timing of DNA methylation of this region and the corresponding expression of H19. Both parental copies are...
