Epigenetic modifications on natural chromosomes are inherited and maintained in a default state, making it challenging to remove intrinsic marks to study the fundamental principles of their establishment and further influence on transcriptional regulation. In this study, we developed SynNICE, a method for assembling and delivering intact, naive, synthetic megabase (Mb)-scale human DNA into early mouse embryos, to study de novo epigenetic regulation. By assembling and delivering a 1.14-Mb human AZFa (hAZFa) locus, we observed the spontaneous incorporation of murine histones and the establishment of DNA methylation at the one-cell stage. Notably, DNA methylation from scratch strongly enriches at repeat sequences without H3K9me3 reinforcement. Furthermore, the transcription of hAZFa initiated at the four-cell stage is regulated by newly established DNA methylation. This method provides a unique platform for exploring de novo epigenomic regulation mechanisms in higher animals.
