What is the story behind the term “germ cell epigenetics”, what can we learn from the changes in methylation during gametogenesis, and how could it be put to good use? This thesis aims to explain how changes in the DNA methylation affects the development of primordial cells into mature sperm. Methylation is the epigenetic process controlling what genes will be expressed and what genes will be silenced. Epigenetics can be viewed as the environmental inheritance we get from our ancestors. It reflects changes that occur due to normal aging (development) but also environmental influences. Alarmingly, our epigenome reflects not only our lifestyle choices but also the experiences of our parents and perhaps also grandparents. Some methylation pr...
