Genomic imprinting affects a subset of genes in mammals and results in a monoallelic,
parental-specific expression pattern. Most of these genes are located in clusters that are …

Genomic imprinting refers to an epigenetic mark that distinguishes parental alleles and
results in a monoallelic, parental-specific expression pattern in mammals. Few phenomena …

The epigenetic events that occur during the development of the mammalian embryo are
essential for correct gene expression and cell-lineage determination. Imprinted genes are …

Mammals are diploid organisms that inherit a complete chromosome set from each parent.
The vast majority of genes are equally expressed from both parental chromosomes …

Genomic imprinting is a form of epigenetic gene regulation that results in expression from a
single allele in a parent-of-origin-dependent manner. This form of monoallelic expression …

Genomic imprinting, the parent-of-origin-specific silencing of a small proportion of genes,
introduces a paradoxical vulnerability of hemizygosity into the diploid mammalian genome …

Genomic imprinting is a system of non-Mendelian inheritance that is unique to mammals.
Two types of imprinted genes show parent-of-origin-specific expression patterns: the …

A small number of mammalian genes undergo the process of genomic imprinting whereby
the expression level of the alleles of a gene depends upon their parental origin. In the past …

Imprinted genes represent a curious defiance of normal Mendelian genetics. Mammals
inherit two complete sets of chromosomes, one from the mother and one from the father, and …

Genomic imprinting refers to the process whereby specific genes are differentially marked
during parental gametogenesis, resulting in the differential expression of these genes in the …
