In mammals, active demethylation of sperm pronuclear DNA shortly after fertilisation is
thought to be important for reprogramming subsequent embryonic development [1–3]. A …

Virtually all mammalian species including mouse, rat, pig, cow, and human, but not sheep
and rabbit, undergo genome‐wide epigenetic reprogramming by demethylation of the male …

In mammals, active demethylation of cytosine methylation in the sperm genome prior to
forming a functional zygotic nucleus is thought to be a function of the oocyte cytoplasm …

Epigenetic reprogramming in early preimplantation embryos, that refers to erasing and
remodeling epigenetic marks such as DNA methylation, is essential for differentiation and …

In mouse and most other mammalian species, the paternal and maternal genomes undergo
parent-specific epigenetic reprogramming during preimplantation development. The …

Active demethylation of the paternal genome but not of the maternal genome occurs in
fertilized mouse, rat, pig, and bovine zygotes. To study whether this early demethylation …

There is species divergence in control of DNA methylation during preimplantation
development. The exact pattern of methylation in the bovine embryo has not been …

DNA methylation is essential for the control of a number of biological mechanisms in
mammals [1]. Mammalian development is accompanied by two major waves of genome …

DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification that undergoes dynamic changes
in mammalian embryogenesis, during which both parental genomes are reprogrammed …

Genome-wide changes of DNA methylation by active and passive demethylation processes
are typical features during preimplantation development. Here we provide an insight that …
