The present study investigated the global pattern of two histone modifications and
methylation of DNA during in vitro maturation of bovine oocytes retrieved from follicles of two …

Follicular growth and oogenesis involve highly dynamic changes in morphogenesis,
chromatin structure, and gene transcription. The tight coordination of these events leads to …

Transcript abundance of histone variants, modifiers of histone and DNA in bovine in vivo
oocytes and embryos were measured as mean transcripts per million (TPM). Six of 14 …

Histone modification genes in bovine embryos: The mRNA expression pattern of histone‐
related genes was determined in bovine oocytes and embryos. We compared immature and …

To mimic post-ovulatory ageing, we have extended the in vitro maturation (IVM) phase to 48
h and examined effects on (i) developmental potential,(ii) expression of a panel of …

The developmental capacity of oocytes from prepubertal cattle is reduced compared with
their adult counterparts, and epigenetic mechanisms are thought to be involved herein …

Epigenetic modifications in the C-terminal domain of histones coordinate important events
during early development including embryo genome activation (EGA) and cell …

The oocyte is remarkable in its ability to remodel parental genomes following fertilization
and to reprogram somatic nuclei after nuclear transfer (NT). To characterise the patterns of …

Distinct epigenetic modification events regulate gene expression and chromatin structure
during the period between the immature oocyte and the blastocyst. Throughout this …

Histone modifications play important roles in regulating chromatin dynamic changes. In this
study, acetylated histone H3 lysine 9 and 18 (H3K9ac and H3K18ac), acetylated histone H4 …
