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

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 …

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

A subset of genes, known as imprinted genes, is present in the mammalian genome.
Genomic imprinting governs the monoallelic expression of these genes, depending on …

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 …

The aim of this study was to demonstrate how differential methylation imprints are
established during porcine preimplantation embryo development. For the methylation …

DNA methylation reprogramming occurs during mammalian gametogenesis and
embryogenesis. Sex-specific DNA methylation patterns at specific CpG islands controlling …

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 …

Bos taurus is a good model for embryo biotechnologies such as nuclear transfer. However,
animals produced from these technologies often suffer from large calf syndrome, suggesting …

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