Germline differentially methylated regions establish parent-specific DNA methylation patterns during sperm and oocyte development and help regulate genomic imprinting and early embryonic development.

DNA methylation at imprinting control regions is a key mechanism of genomic imprinting. Learn how methylation is established, maintained, and reprogrammed and how it regulates parent-of-origin gene expression and development.

Differentially methylated regions are genomic regions with distinct DNA methylation patterns that can regulate gene expression and genomic imprinting. Explore imprinting-associated DMRs, DNA methylation, germ-cell reprogramming, parent-of-origin effects, epimutations, imprinting disorders, development, and epigenetic inheritance.
