Parent-of-origin effects occur when the phenotypic effect of an allele depends on whether it
is inherited from the mother or the father. Several phenomena can cause parent-of-origin …

Epigenetic inheritance plays a crucial role in many biological processes, such as gene
expression in early embryo development, imprinting and the silencing of transposons. It has …

In the present study, the population genomic data of different cattle breeds were explored to
decipher the genomic regions affected due to selective events and reflected in the …

The concept that postnatal health and development can be influenced by events that occur
in utero originated from epidemiological studies in humans supported by numerous …

Global aquaculture has expanded rapidly to address the increasing demand for aquatic
protein needs and an uncertain future for wild fisheries. To date, however, most farmed …

Increasing milk production is one of the key concerns in animal production. Traditional
breeding has gotten limited achievement in the improvement of milk production because of …

Background Studies in mice and humans have shown that imprinted genes, whereby
expression from one of the two parentally inherited alleles is attenuated or completely …

“Omics” is the application of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics in
biological research. Over the years, tremendous amounts of biological information has been …

Parent-of-origin effects (POE) such as genomic imprinting influence growth and body
composition in livestock, rodents, and humans. Here, we report the results of a genome scan …

Monoallelically expressed genes that exert their phenotypic effect in a parent-of-origin
specific manner are considered to be subject to genomic imprinting, the most well …
