DNA methylation reprogramming in marsupial embryos is restricted to the extraembryonic lineage
Allegra Angeloni, J. W. Hammond, Timothy J. Peters…·Ksenia Skvortsova
The paper examines DNA methylation dynamics in marsupial embryos, finding global demethylation in the trophectoderm but not the embryonic lineage, suggesting 5mC erasure in extraembryonic tissue is ancestral in therian mammals.
