Abstract
Enucleated oocytes have the remarkable ability to reprogram somatic nuclei back to totipotency. Here we investigate genome-scale DNA methylation patterns after nuclear transfer and compare them to the dynamics at fertilization. We identify specific targets for DNA demethylation after nuclear transfer such as germ-line associated promoters, as well as unique limitations that include certain repetitive element classes.
