DNA methylation and chromatin states are critical epigenetic indicators in embryogenesis that have been extensively studied during mouse preimplantation development. DNA methylation dynamics and parental allele-specific DNA methylation in human preimplantation embryos have been analyzed thoroughly; however, chromatin remodeling, parental allele-specific chromatin accessibility, and interrelationships between these omics are not well understood.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
