Functional Analyses of Histone Methyltransferases in Sea Lamprey Embryos Undergoing Programmed DNA Elimination

2026-01-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> During early embryogenesis, the sea lamprey ( Petromyzon marinus ) undergoes a dramatic form of genome reprogramming wherein specific chromosomes are selectively eliminated from somatic progenitor cells. These programmatic elimination events effectively silence all genes on these chromosomes in all somatic cells. Previous studies in lamprey and other eliminating species have shown that epigenet...
