To reveal the extent of domain-wide epigenetic features at imprinted gene clusters, we
performed a high-resolution allele-specific chromatin analysis of over 100 megabases along …

Imprinted genes in mammals show monoallelic expression dependent on parental origin
and are often associated with differentially methylated regions (DMRs). There are two …

To increase our understanding of imprinted genes in swine, we carried out a comprehensive
analysis of this gene family using two complementary approaches: expression and …

Imprinting is a non-Mendelian form of inheritance where epigenetic modifications control
mono-allelic expression depending on the parental origin. Methylation of CpG-dinucleotides …

Zfp57 has both maternal and zygotic functions in mouse. It maintains genomic imprinting at
most known imprinted regions and controls allelic expression of the target imprinted genes …

Imprinted genes are expressed monoallelically depending on their parental origin, and
escape the Mendel's laws of heredity. They play important roles in the mammalian …

Genomic imprinting arises from allele-specific epigenetic modifications that are established
during gametogenesis and that are maintained throughout somatic development. These …

Animals produced from assisted reproductive technologies suffer from developmental
abnormalities and early fetal death at a higher frequency than that observed in those …

Differentially methylated regions (DMRs) are stable epigenetic features within or in proximity
to imprinted genes. We used this feature to identify candidate human imprinted loci by …

A hallmark of imprinted genes in mammals is the occurrence of parent-of-origin-dependent
asymmetry of DNA cytosine methylation (5 m C) of alleles at CpG islands (CGIs) in their …
