DNA methyltransferases and TETs in the regulation of differentiation and invasiveness of extra-villous trophoblasts.

abstract：:Obesity has become a major public health issue which is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Genome-wide DNA methylation studies have identified that DNA methylation at Cytosine-phosphate-Guanine (CpG) sites are associated with obesity. However, subsequent functional validation of the results ...
