The physiological time axis of oocyte maturation comprises highly sensitive processes. A prolonged time span between ovulation and fertilization may impair oocyte developmental competence and subsequent embryo development, possibly due to epigenetic modifications. Since post-translational histone modifications can modify chromatin activity, and trimethylation of H3K9 (H3K9me3) has been shown to increase in the murine oocyte during maturation, here the effect of postovulatory oocyte aging on H3K9me3 was analyzed.
