Abstract In mammals, primordial germ cells (PGCs) undergo global erasure of DNA methylation with delayed demethylation of germline genes and selective retention of DNA methylation at evolutionarily young retrotransposons. However, the molecular mechanisms of persistent DNA methylation in PGCs remain unclear. Here we report that resistance to DNA methylation reprogramming in PGCs requires UHRF2, the paralog of the DNMT1 cofactor UHRF1.
