Transgenerational inheritance of acquired epigenetic signatures at CpG islands in mice
Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance in mammals remains a debated subject. Here, we
demonstrate that DNA methylation of promoter-associated CpG islands (CGIs) can be …

FTO mediates LINE1 m6A demethylation and chromatin regulation in mESCs and mouse development
N 6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification on mammalian
messenger RNA. It is installed by a writer complex and can be reversed by erasers such as …
