Deep sequencing and de novo assembly of the mouse oocyte transcriptome define the contribution of transcription to the DNA methylation landscape.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We have performed deep RNA-Seq and de novo transcriptome assembly at different stages of mouse oogenesis. This revealed thousands of novel non-annotated genes as well as alternative promoters for ~10% of reference genes expressed in oocytes, a large fraction of which coincide with transposable elements of the MaLR and ERVK families. We defined the oocyte DNA methylation landscape as composed of large-scale hyper- and hypo-methylated domains. Correlation with our transcriptome assembly revealed that transcription correlates accurately with DNA methylation and potentially account for ~85-90% of the DNA methylome.
