Journal ArticleDOI

Targets and dynamics of promoter DNA methylation during early mouse development

TL;DR: This work optimized methylated DNA immunoprecipitation for low numbers of cells and profiled DNA methylation during early development of the mouse embryonic lineage in vivo, suggesting that escape of post-fertilizationDNA methylation reprogramming is prevalent in the mouse genome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal and zygotic Dnmt1 are necessary and sufficient for the maintenance of DNA methylation imprints during preimplantation development

TL;DR: It is demonstrated, by using conditional knockout mice, that the other known DNA methyltransferases Dnmt3a and DnMT3b are dispensable for the maintenance of the methylation marks at most imprinted loci and that zygotic DNmt1 is expressed in the preimplantation embryo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mouse oocyte methylomes at base resolution reveal genome-wide accumulation of non-CpG methylation and role of DNA methyltransferases.

TL;DR: It is found that nearly two-thirds of all methylcytosines occur in a non-CG context in GVOs, which indicates that non- CG methylation accumulates during oocyte growth and provides a basis for understanding the mechanisms and significance ofNon-CG methylation in mammalian oocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation dynamics during early human development.

TL;DR: It was found that the maternal genome was demethylated to a much lesser extent in human blastocysts than in mouse Blastocysts, which could contribute to an increased number of imprinted differentially methylated regions in the human genome.
