Abstract excerpt
Mouse Impact is an imprinted gene encoding an evolutionarily conserved protein of unknown function. We isolated cDNA for the Xenopus homolog of Impact (Ximpact), since the clawed frog not only provides an excellent model for the study of gene function in early development but also allows the generation of interspecific F1 hybrids required for the examination of allelic expression status. The predicted product of...
