Imprinted genes are distinguished by different patterns of methylation on their parental
alleles, a property by which imprinted loci could be identified systematically. Here …

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic inheritance system characterized by parental allele-
specific gene expression. Allele-specific DNA methylation and chromatin composition are …

We identified the gene TSGA14, encoding the testis-specific protein A14 and located 50 kb
proximal to the imprinted gene MEST in a head-to-head orientation. TSGA14 has at least …

The Dlk1–Gtl2 domain on mouse chromosome 12 contains reciprocally imprinted genes
with the potential to contribute to our understanding of common features involved in …

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon that results in unequal expression of
homologous maternal and paternal alleles. This process is initiated in the germline, and the …

This review explores the features of imprinted locithat have been uncovered by genetic
experiments in the mouse. Imprinted genes are expressed from one parental allele and …

Roughly equal numbers of imprinted genes are subject to repression from alleles of
maternal and of paternal origin. This masks the strong sexual dimorphism that underlies …

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic process resulting in the monoallelic parent-of-origin-
specific expression of a subset of genes in the mammalian genome. The parental alleles are …

Genomically imprinted loci are expressed mono-allelically, dependent upon the parent of
origin. Their regulation not only illuminates how chromatin regulates gene expression but …

Imprinted genes are regulated by allele-specific differentially DNA-methylated regions
(DMRs). Epigenetic methylation of the CpGs constituting these DMRs is established in the …
