摘要

DNA methylation is essential for cell identity and integrity. The genome of the mammalian germline undergoes two waves of genome-wide methylation reprogramming during embryonic development. Recent data revealed that the male germline in the adult is also continuously reprogrammed at each spermatogenic cycle, revealing windows of opportunity for lifelong impact on the paternal epigenome, potentially affecting fertility and the integrity of paternal non-genetic information.
