Epigenetic homogeneity in histone methylation underlies sperm programming for embryonic transcription
In addition to paternal genetic material, sperm contributes epigenetic information to the embryo to efficiently support development. Here, the authors demonstrate a homogeneous paternal contribution to epigenetic information via sperm-derived modified histone transmission to the developing vertebrat...
