Unreprogrammed H3K9me3 prevents minor zygotic genome activation and lineage commitment in SCNT embryos

Abstract Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) can be used to reprogram differentiated somatic cells to a totipotent state but has poor efficiency in supporting full-term development. H3K9me3 is considered to be an epigenetic barrier to zygotic genomic activation in 2-cell SCNT embryos. However, the...
