Transcriptional repression and DNA hypermethylation of a small set of ES cell marker genes in male germline stem cells

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>We previously identified a set of genes called ECATs (ES cell-associated transcripts) that are expressed at high levels in mouse ES cells. Here, we examine the expression and DNA methylation of ECATs in somatic cells and germ cells.&...
