Epigenetic reprogramming in mouse and human primordial germ cells

Abstract Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are the precursors of sperm and eggs. They undergo genome-wide epigenetic reprogramming to erase epigenetic memory and reset the genomic potential for totipotency. Global DNA methylation erasure is a crucial part of epigenetic resetting when DNA methylation leve...
