Evolutionary epigenomic analyses in mammalian early embryos reveal species-specific innovations and conserved principles of imprinting
While mouse remains the most popular model, the conservation of parental-to-embryonic
epigenetic transition across mammals is poorly defined. Through analysis of oocytes and …
