Genome-wide differences in DNA methylation changes in caprine ovaries between oestrous and dioestrous phases

Abstract Background DNA methylation plays a vital role in reproduction. Entire genome DNA methylation changes during the oestrous phase (ES) and dioestrous phase (DS) in the ovaries of Guanzhong dairy goats were investigated using bisulphite sequencing to understand the molecular biological mechanis...
