| Summary |
De novo DNA methylation (DNAme) occurs coincident with transcription during mouse oogenesis. As many oocyte transcripts originate in Long Terminal Repeats (LTRs), which are divergent across species, we examined whether polymorphic LTR-initiated transcription units (LITs) shape the oocyte methylome. We identified thousands of syntenic regions in mouse, rat and human, including CpG islands (CGIs), that show divergent DNAme associated with polymorphic LITs. Notably, many CGI promoters methylated exclusively in mouse and/or rat are embedded within rodent-specific LITs, and show persistent maternal methylation in the blastocyst. Polymorphic LITs are also responsible for divergent methylation of CGI promoters in distantly related mouse strains, revealing that LITs also promote intra-species diversification of promoter DNAme.
