Primordial Germ Cell DNA Methylation

Nuclear distribution of H3K79me2 and H3K79me3 in fetal germ cells.

  • H3K79me2 and H3K79me3 are associated with the DNA-unmethylated and methylated alleles of differentially methylated regions (DMRs)

Female and male germ cells (FGC and MGC, respectively) and female somatic cells (SC) at 15.5 dpc were stained with the H3K79me2 and H3K79me3 antibodies as indicated and are shown in the different channels separately and in red-blue composite.

(A) DAPI-stained chromocenters are excluded from H3K79me2 signals (open arrowheads).

(B) DAPI-rich chromocenters colocalize with H3K79me3 signals (closed arrowheads).
