Correct imprinting is crucial for normal fetal and placental development in mammals.
Experimental evidence in animal models and epidemiological studies in humans suggest …

The recent identification of an intragenic differentially methylated region (DMR) within the
last exon of the bovine Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) gene provides a diagnostic tool for …

Genomic imprinting is a mammalian developmental process that uses epigenetic
mechanisms to induce monoallelic and parental‐specific expression of particular autosomal …

This study was designed to identify the putative differentially methylated regions (DMRs) of
the porcine imprinted genes insulin‐like growth factor 2 and H19 (IGF2‐H19), and to assess …

DNA methylation differences between maternal and paternal alleles of many imprinted
genes are inherited from the male and female gametes and subsequently maintained during …

Twenty-six imprinted genes were quantified in bovine in vivo produced oocytes and
embryos using RNA-seq. Eighteen were detectable and their transcriptional patterns were …

Preimplantation embryos experience profound resetting of epigenetic information inherited
from the gametes. Genome-wide analysis at single-base resolution has shown similarities …

The insulin-like growth factor 2 gene (IGF2) encodes an essential growth factor and is
imprinted in various mammalian species. Differentially methylated regions (DMRs) are often …

Assisted reproductive technologies are associated with an increased incidence of
epigenetic aberrations, specifically in imprinted genes. Here, we used the bovine oocyte as …

Imprinted genes, which are epigenetically modified such that only a single parental allele is
expressed, are often regulated by imprinting control regions (ICRs). ICRs typically are DNA …
