Imprinted genes are characterized by monoallelic expression that is dependent on parental
origin. Comparative analysis of imprinted genes between species is a powerful tool for …

Background At present, few imprinted genes have been reported in cattle compared to
human and mouse. Comparative expression analysis and imprinting status are powerful …

Cattle are important livestock species with huge genetic resource for food security,
agriculture and livelihoods. Over 60% of its genes are homologous to all mammalian …

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon that leads to genes monoallelically
expressed in a parent-of-origin-specific manner and plays an important role in the …

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon that leads to the preferential expression
of genes from either the paternal or maternal allele. Imprinted genes play important roles in …

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

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic regulation mechanism in mammals resulting in the
parentally dependent monoallelic expression of genes. Imprinting disorders in humans are …

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

Parent-of-origin–dependent expression of imprinted genes is mostly associated with allele-
specific DNA methylation of the CpG islands (CGIs) called germ line differentially methylated …

The testis-enriched genes ZNF230/Znf230 are located on human chromosome
11p15/mouse chromosome 7 near conserved imprinting control regions. Typical CpG …
