Rescuing the Zygote Argument by De Marco, G

“…In a recent paper, Kristin Mickelson argues that Alfred Mele’s Zygote Argument, a popular argument for the claim that the truth of determinism would preclude free action or moral responsibility, is not valid. …”

Epigenetic reprogramming during the maternal‐to‐zygotic transition by Yurong Chen, Luyao Wang, Fucheng Guo, Xiangpeng Dai, Xiaoling Zhang

“…Abstract After fertilization, sperm and oocyte fused and gave rise to a zygote which is the beginning of a new life. Then the embryonic development is monitored and regulated precisely from the transition of oocyte to the embryo at the early stage of embryogenesis, and this process is termed maternal‐to‐zygotic transition (MZT). …”

Paternal DNA methylation is remodeled to maternal levels in rice zygote by Qian Liu, Xuan Ma, Xue Li, Xinran Zhang, Shaoli Zhou, Lizhong Xiong, Yu Zhao, Dao-Xiu Zhou

“…In flowering plants, mechanistic details of parental methylation remodeling in zygote remain elusive. Here we analyze allele-specific DNA methylation in rice hybrid zygotes and during early embryo development and show that paternal DNA methylation is predominantly remodeled to match maternal allelic levels upon fertilization, which persists after the first zygotic division. …”
