Evidence for conserved DNA and histone H3 methylation reprogramming in mouse, bovine and rabbit zygotes
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In mammals the parental genomes are epigenetically reprogrammed after fertilization. This reprogramming includes a rapid demethylation of the paternal (sperm-derived) chromosomes prior to DNA replication in zygotes. Such active DNA d...
