Restricted mobility of Dnmt1 in preimplantation embryos: implications for epigenetic reprogramming

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Mouse preimplantation development is characterized by both active and passive genomic demethylation. A short isoform of the prevalent maintenance DNA methyltransferase (Dnmt1S) is found in the cytoplasm of preimplantation embryos and...
