Abstract
After erasure in the early animal embryo, a new bimodal DNA methylation pattern is regenerated at implantation. We have identified a demethylation pathway in mouse embryonic cells that uses hydroxymethylation (Tet1), deamination (Aid), glycosylation (Mbd4) and excision repair (Gadd45a) genes. Surprisingly, this demethylation system is not necessary for generating the overall bimodal methylation pattern but does appear to be involved in resetting methylation patterns during somatic-cell reprogramming.Entities:
