Early Developmental and Evolutionary Origins of Gene Body DNA Methylation Patterns in Mammalian Placentas.
Over the last 20-80 million years the mammalian placenta has taken on a variety of morphologies through both divergent and convergent evolution. Recently we have shown that the human placenta genome has a unique epigenetic pattern of large partially methylated domains (PMDs) and highly methylated do...
