… Furthermore, what other organisms may conserve H3K27me3-dependent genomic imprinting
is a fascinating question given that flowering plants also adopt this mechanism 37,38 . …

… Notably, genomic imprinting was affected: H19 expression became biallelic whereas Igf2 …
role of DNA methylation in imprinting and the differing effects of methylation on imprinted …

… genes have been identified using allele-specific measurements in somatic cells of either
transcript levels, DNA methylation, reporter gene activity, or mutant analyses following …

… being the most important for imprinted genes. Here, we discuss DNA methylation dynamics
in the mammalian genome, with a particular emphasis on DNA demethylation in the germline …

… the differential gene activity and the changes in DNA methylation, higher … Genomic
imprinting or parental imprinting describes a biological marking process that modifies the genome …

… to involve disturbances of genomic imprints (6). However, very little is known about the
mechanisms that establish and maintain genomic imprints. Maternal imprints are established in …

… maternal and paternal genomes are both required for normal embryonic and postnatal
development. Their functional non-equivalence is mediated by genomic imprinting, an epigenetic …
