Background The primary differentially methylated regions (DMRs) which are maternally
hypermethylated serve as imprinting control regions (ICRs) that drive monoallelic gene …

In mammals, genomic imprinting operates via gene silencing mechanisms. Although
conservation of the imprinting mechanism at the H19/IGF2 locus has been generally …

In mammals, imprinted genes often exist in the form of clusters in specific chromosome
regions. However, in pigs, genomic imprinting of a relatively few genes and clusters has …

Simple Summary To increase the early implantation rate, oocytes and zygotes have been
subjected to various artificial stimulations before and/or after in vitro fertilization, nuclear …

Simple Summary DNA methylation associated with one of the two alleles from parents is an
important mechanism that causes a silencing of that allele, leading to expression of another …

Background Genomic imprinting affects gene expression in a parent-of-origin manner and
has a profound impact on complex traits including growth and behavior. While the rat is …

Background: Genomic imprinting is the primary epigenetic phenomenon that results in
parent-of-origin effects on mammalian development and growth. Research on genomic …

Genomic imprinting plays critical roles during the development of mammalian species and
underlying epigenetic mechanisms frequently involve long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) …

Implementation of genomic imprinting in mammals often results in cis-acting silencing of a
gene cluster and monoallelic expression, which are important for mammalian growth and …

Background Maternal proteins have important roles during early embryonic development.
However, our understanding of maternal proteins is still very limited. The integrated analysis …
