The life cycle of epigenome. Scheme representing major changes in epigenetic information as they occur during the mouse development. DNA demethylation proceeds in the male pronucleus of the zygote followed later by the erasure of polycomb (Pc) marks in the ICM of blastocyst. PGCs undergo erasure of both DNA methylation and polycomb marks at E11.5. 5mc, 5-methyl-cytosine.
