Schematic DNA methylation dynamics occurring during germ cell specification and embryo development. During mammal development, two waves of global demethylation occur: after fertilization and before PGC differentiation. Each step depicted in this figure may be a target for EDC with an impact on the DNA methylation profile, which may in turn affect the health of subsequent generations. PGC: primordial germ cells.
