Dominant role of DNA methylation over H3K9me3 for IAP silencingin endoderm. Wang Z. et al. Silencing of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) is largely mediated by repressive chromatin modifications H3K9me3 and DNA methylation. On ERVs, these modifications are mainly deposited by the histone methyltransferase Setdb1 and by the maintenance DNA methyltransferase Dnmt1. Knock-out of either Setdb1 or Dnmt1 leads to... |
bESCs from cloned embryos do not retain transcriptomic or epigenetic memory from somatic donor cells. Navarro M. et al. Embryonic stem cells (ESC) indefinitely maintain the pluripotent state of the blastocyst epiblast. Stem cells are invaluable for studying development and lineage commitment, and in livestock they constitute a useful tool for genomic improvement and in vitro breeding programs. Although these cells have been recently ... |
Epigenetic Mechanisms Mediating Cell State Transitions in Chondrocytes Wuelling M. et al.
