Recent evolution of a TET-controlled and DPPA3/STELLA-driven pathway of passive demethylation in mammals
2018-05-15
Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide DNA demethylation is a unique feature of mammalian development and naïve pluripotent stem cells. So far, it was unclear how mammals specifically achieve global DNA hypomethylation, given the high conservation of the DNA (de-)methylation machinery among vertebrates. We found that DNA demethylation requires TET activity but mostly occurs at sites where TET proteins are not bound suggesting a rather indir...
