Epigenetic modification of histone 3 at lysine 9 in sheep zygotes and its relationship with DNA methylation

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Previous studies indicated that, unlike mouse zygotes, sheep zygotes lacked the paternal DNA demethylation event. Another epigenetic mark, histone modification, especially at lysine 9 of histone 3 (H3K9), has been suggested to be mec...
