A chromatin-wide transition to H4K20 monomethylation impairs genome integrity and programmed DNA rearrangements in the mouse.

abstract：:Placental development is profoundly influenced by oxygen (O(2)) tension. Human cytotrophoblasts proliferate in vitro under low O(2) conditions but differentiate at higher O(2) levels, mimicking the developmental transition they undergo as they invade the placental bed to establish the maternal-fetal circulation in viv...
