Genomic imprinting is a form of epigenetic inheritance whereby the regulation of a gene or
chromosomal region is dependent on the sex of the transmitting parent. During …

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 results in the expression of genes in a parent-of-origin-dependent
manner. The mechanism and developmental consequences of genomic imprinting are most …

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

A subset of mammalian genes is controlled by genomic imprinting. This process causes a
gene to be expressed from only one chromosome homologue depending on whether it …

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 …

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 …

Parental genomic imprinting is characterized by the expression of a selected panel of genes
from one of the two parental alleles. Recent evidence shows that DNA methylation and …

An ever increasing number of genes and human diseases have been reported to be
susceptible to the effects of genome imprinting. Imprinting is defined as an epigenetic …

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 …
