Summary (written by the submitters)
In mammals, DNA methylation is rapidly re-established after implantation following global erasure in pre-implantation embryos, the regulation of which, however, is not completely understood. Here, by mapping H3K36me2 in pre- and post-implantation mouse embryos, we unravel the dynamic reprogramming of H3K36me2 in mouse early development and its role in post-implantation de novo DNA methylation.

Parental H3K36me2 was progressively lost by the 8-cell stage, while de novo H3K36me2 was established at putative enhancers after ZGA mediated by histone acetylation, followed by genome-wide deposition after implantation. H3K36me2 was however excluded from the inactive X chromosome. Catalytic mutation of NSD1, the major H3K36me2 methyltransferase, compromised post-implantation development and DNA methylation re-establishment, with extra-embryonic lineages more severely affected than embryonic lineages. De novo DNA methylation establishment in embryonic lineages partially bypassed H3K36me2/3 through elevated DNMT3B expression. Mechanistically, the PWWP domain of DNMT3A, but not that of DNMT3B, confers strict requirement of H3K36me2/3 for DNA methylation, while DNMT3B is a “leaky” reader of H3K36 methylation. Nevertheless, germline-specific genes, including those contain CpG islands at promoters, still require H3K36me2 to be efficiently methylated and silenced. Amid global remethylation, DNA methylation valleys (DMVs) escape de novo DNA methylation, where PRC1 and H2AK119ub1 antagonize H3K36me2 invasion. Thus, reprogramming of H3K36me2 is required for early embryogenesis and regulates lineage- and locus-specific post-implantation DNA methylation establishment.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE273316_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: Look for beta-value tables or raw IDAT files among the supplementary files.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1141418 and SRA study SRP522825. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
