Class I HLA genes are expressed in almost all tissues, but expression is low or undetectable
in many neuroblastomas. We analysed class I HLA methylation in normal tissues and in 28 …

In order to further our understanding of the epigenetic modifications of DNA and its role in
imprinting, we examined DNA methylation patterns of human tissues of uniparental origin …

This study describes the effects of 5‐azacytidine (5‐azaC) on the development of diploid
parthenogenetic embryos (PE) of CBA, C57BL/6 and (CBA× C57BL/6) F1 mice in vitro at the …

This review has surveyed the current literature on random and imprinted monoallelic
expression from the unusual perspective of considering that these two forms of monoallelic …

Human conception is initiated by fertilisation, a process involving the interaction between the
male and female gametes—the spermatozoon and ovum, respectively. Their interaction is …

Genomic imprinting is a process that results in the differential expression of genes according
to their parental inheritance. Two imprinted genes, insulin-like growth factor 2 (Igf2) and H19 …

An intragenic region of the wallaroo (Macropus robustus) hypoxanthine
phosphoribosyltransferase gene which contains three active X-specific methylated cytosines …

In mammals, normal embryonic development requires differential genomic imprinting of
male and female gametes [1, 2]. Many investigations have been directed towards the …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the synthesis, structural and biochemical
features, transport function, and differential expression of mannose-6-phosphate receptors …

Recently, we reported that breast cancer cell lines fall to express the gene encoding the fatty
acid binding protein mammary derived growth inhibitor (MDGI) and that transfection with an …
