Abstract
The first hours of mammalian embryogenesis are devoted to extensive epigenetic reprogramming. One hallmark is active demethylation of the paternal genome by Tet (ten-eleven translocation) enzymes. However, the process is now shown to be Tet-independent at first, with Tet enzymes only counteracting hitherto underappreciated de novo DNA methylation activity in later zygotic stages.Entities:
