PGC7 and TET3 ChIP-seq results
PGC7 is a primordial germ cell (PGCs)-specific protein involved in epigenetic chromatin reprogramming in the zygote following fertilization. TET3 is a dioxygenase that catalyzes the conversion of the modified genomic base 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and plays a key role in epigenetic chromatin reprogramming in the zygote following fertilization. Overall design: PGC7 participates in protection of DNA methylation in the maternal pronucleus by preventing conversion of 5mC to 5hmC by TET3 oxidization subsequent DNA demethylation. Thus we tested the co-localization of PGC7 and TET3 in specific loci by ChIP-seq assays.
