MeDIP-seq of ICR mouse sperm with different combinations of in utero undernutrition and postnatal undernutrition
Maternal caloric restriction during ?the last week of gestation resulted in low birth weight (LBW) and increased risk of LBW-associated metabolic diseases in adult life. The metabolic phenotypes transmitted to F2 generation by paternal manner without additional altered nutrition. To investigate the mechanism of this intergenerational inheritance, two Cohorts were exposed to different magnitudes of undernutrition both in utero during the last week of gestation and/or postnatal until weaning.  We performed MeDIP-seq on the genomic DNA from sperm collected from these mice.
