Genomic imprinting, the monoallelic and parent-of-origin-dependent expression of a subset
of genes, is required for normal development, and its disruption leads to human disease …

The emerging awareness of the contribution of epigenetic processes to genome function in
health and disease is underpinned by decades of research in model systems. In particular …

Genomic imprinting affects several dozen mammalian genes and results in the expression of
those genes from only one of the two parental chromosomes. This is brought about by …

The discovery of genomic imprinting by Davor Solter, Azim Surani and co-workers in the mid-
1980s has provided a foundation for the study of epigenetic inheritance and the epigenetic …

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon that results in monoallelic gene
expression according to parental origin. It has long been established that imprinted genes …

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 …

Parent-specific gene expression (genomic imprinting) is an evolutionary puzzle because it
forgoes an important advantage of diploidy—protection against the effects of deleterious …

Genomic imprinting, a process of epigenetic modification which allows the gene to be
expressed in a parent-of-origin specific manner, has an essential role in normal growth and …

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic process that restricts gene expression to either the
maternally or paternally inherited allele,. Many theories have been proposed to explain its …

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 …
