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 …

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 …

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

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

Alterations to DNA methylation have been attributed to in vitro culture and may affect normal
embryo development. We chose to analyze DNA methylation reprogramming in the rabbit …

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 …

DNA methylation reprogramming (DMR) during preimplantation development erases
differentiation-associated, unessential epigenetic information accumulated during …

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

This study was designed to investigate the effect of in vitro production systems of rat zygotes
such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) on …

This paper shows stage-and tissue-specific global demethylation and remethylation
occurring during embryonic development. The egg genome is strikingly undermethylated …
