    Determining the effects of paternal obesity on sperm chromatin at histone H3 lysine 4 tri-methylation in relation to the placental transcriptome and cellular composition

    Anne-Sophie Pepin, Patrycja A Jazwiec ... Sarah Kimmins
    Epigenomic and transcriptomic analysis reveals that paternal obesity influences sperm histone H3 lysine 4 tri-methylation enrichment and placenta gene expression, which in turn negatively impact its development and function in a manner that may contribute to metabolic disease in offspring.
