NBDC Research ID: hum0542.v1

 

SUMMARY

Aims: Previous studies using monkeys have revealed the timing and mechanism of DNA methylation establishment in primate germ cells. The purpose of this study is to understand the establishment of DNA methylation in human testicular and ovarian germ cells. This study will advance our understanding of human germ cell development and contribute to the prevention of abnormal gamete DNA methylation and the development of infertility treatments.

Methods: single-cell whole genome bisulfite-sequencing

Participants/Materials: Three testicular cancer patients
