Analyses of inter-individual variations of sperm DNA methylation and their potential implications in cattle

Abstract Background DNA methylation has been shown to be involved in many biological processes, including X chromosome inactivation in females, paternal genomic imprinting, and others. Results Based on the correlation patterns of methylation levels of neighboring CpG sites among 28 sperm whole genom...
