Retention of paternal DNA methylome in the developing zebrafish germline

Germ cells are the means of transferring genetic information to the next generation. Here the authors characterise the DNA methylomes of zebrafish primordial germ cells and find that, unlike mammals, the zebrafish germ cells do not undergo genome-wide DNA demethylation but rather retain paternal DNA...
