Germline epigenome editing identifies H3K9me3 as a mediator of intergenerational DNA methylation recovery in mice - Nature Communications
The authors develop a system to erase DNA methylation at H19-DMR in mouse sperm. Despite loss, methylation partly recovers via H3K9me3 after fertilization, revealing partial intergenerational epigenet...

Single-cell analysis of a salmonid immune system (brown trout Salmo trutta) reveals evolutionary divergence and hatchery-induced transcriptional reprogramming
Vertebrate immune systems exhibit striking evolutionary diversity, yet our understanding remains biased toward mammalian models. Here, we generate a single-cell atlas of immune cells from the ecologic...
