Loss of Ehmt2/G9a function in zebrafish is associated with global deficiency in H3K9 dimethylation, misregulated cell cycle dynamics, and embryonic developmental delay

2026-04-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Ehmt2 is a key H3K9 methyltransferase that regulates genome silencing and structural integrity during animal development. In addition to this canonical function, Ehmt2 has also been implicated in neural tissues mediating both direct and indirect transcriptional activation, and exon splicing, to facilitate proper neural cell differentiation and survival. Several germline loss-of-function animal m...
