With the goal of understanding the epigenetic regulation required for germ cell-specific gene expression, we devised a method of DNA methylation analysis adapted for a small number of developing germ cells. This microarray-based method provides the genome-wide assay of DNA methylation using a sub-na...

Mammals have evolved a mechanism to compensate for the difference in the number of X chromosome genes between XX females and XY males by inactivating one of the two X chromosomes in females. This X chromosome inactivation phenomenon is triggered by Xist gene, which is essential for X-inactivation to...

Increasing numbers of sense–antisense transcripts (SATs), which are transcribed from the same chromosomal location but in opposite directions, have been identified in various eukaryotic species, but the biological meanings of most SATs remain unclear. To improve understanding of natural sense–an...

Cloning mammals by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is highly inefficient because of aberrant genomic reprogramming. In addition to random reprogramming errors, we hypothesized the presence of specific errors as evidenced by common anomalies among clones. We found that Xist, which normally inact...
