Mono-allelic expression of imprinted genes from either the paternal or the maternal allele is
mediated by imprinting control regions (ICRs), which are epigenetically marked in an allele …

Parental allele-specific expression of imprinted genes is mediated by imprinting control
regions (ICRs) that are constitutively marked by DNA methylation imprints on the maternal or …

Genomic imprinting refers to the functional non-equivalence of parental genomes in
mammals that results from the parent-of-origin allelic expression of a subset of genes …

Genomic imprinting is a major monoallelic gene expression regulatory mechanism in
mammals, and depends on gamete-specific DNA methylation of specialized cis-regulatory …

DNA methylation is an essential epigenetic mark crucial for normal mammalian
development. This modification controls the expression of a unique class of genes …

A number of recent studies have provided new insights into mechanisms that regulate
genomic imprinting in the mammalian genome. Regions of allele-specific differential …

Imprinted genes are expressed in a monoallelic, parent-of-origin-specific manner. Clusters
of imprinted genes are regulated by imprinting control regions (ICRs) characterized by DNA …

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon guiding the allele-specific marking of
parental alleles. Genes regulated by imprinting are only or preferentially expressed from a …

Background Genes subject to genomic imprinting are mono-allelically expressed in a parent-
of-origin dependent manner. Each imprinted locus has at least one differentially methylated …

Mammalian imprinted genes are clustered in chromosomal domains. Their mono-allelic,
parent-of-origin-specific expression is regulated by imprinting control regions (ICRs), which …
