The paper shows that an ancestral LTR retrotransposon insertion in the common ancestor of Euarchontoglires drives lineage-specific genomic imprinting of ZDBF2 through post-fertilization transcription initiation.

The paper investigates human primordial germ cell specification using in vitro models and in vivo datasets, revealing the role of TFAP2A and TFAP2C in PGC fate and amnion development.

The paper identifies imprinted genes in rat tissues, finds conservation of canonical imprints in embryos but divergence in extra-embryonic tissues, and discovers novel non-canonical imprints.

The paper identifies transposable elements resistant to epigenetic resetting in human germline cells and links them to developmental traits and diseases.

This study identifies key regulators of the transition from pluripotency to germ cell fate using CRISPR screening in PGC-like cells, highlighting Nr5a2 and Zfp296 as critical factors.
