Dynamic changes in histone modifications precede de novo DNA methylation in oocytes.

abstract：:RNAi has revolutionized reverse genetics; however, RNAi is not necessarily ubiquitous or constitutive. Lund and colleagues (pp. 1121-1131) show that microRNA (miRNA) effector Argonautes (Agos) are limiting and easily saturated during early Xenopus embryogenesis. Moreover, this stage is devoid of slicing capacity. Supp...

It encodes a DNA helicase (BLM) of the RecQ family, but the exact function of BLM remains elusive.
