Intricate layers of regulation determine the unique gene expression profiles of a given cell
and, therefore, underlie the immense phenotypic diversity observed among cell types …

Abstract Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are a class of endogenous RNA molecules,
which have a transcribing length of over 200 nt, lack a complete functional open reading …

Genomic imprinting is the epigenetic process that results in monoallelic expression of genes
depending on parental origin. These genes are known to be critical for placental …

Imprinted genes, which are preferentially expressed from one or other parental chromosome
as a consequence of epigenetic events in the germline, are known to functionally converge …

Mecp2 is a transcriptional repressor protein that is mutated in Rett syndrome, a
neurodevelopmental disorder that is the second most common cause of mental retardation …

Genomic imprinting is the parent‐of‐origin‐specific allelic transcriptional silencing observed
in mammals, which is governed by DNA methylation established in the gametes and …

Epigenetic information defines tissue identity and is largely inherited in development
through DNA methylation. While studied mostly for mean differences, methylation also …

Mammalian spermatogenesis is a complex and highly orchestrated combination of
processes in which male germline proliferation and differentiation result in the production of …

Background: Epigenetic machinery plays an important role in genomic imprinting, a
developmental process that establishes parent-of-origin–specific monoallelic gene …

Genome‐wide SNP analyses have identified genomic variants associated with adult human
height. However, these only explain a fraction of human height variation, suggesting that …
