Abstract excerpt
The activity of two X-linked genes, Pgk1 and Hprt, that are localized on X-chromosomes of different parental origins in the XX mouse embryo was analyzed by the quantification of allele-specific transcripts. For the Pgk1 gene, the maternal allele-specific transcripts were consistently more abundant than the paternal transcripts in the blastocyst and the late gastrula. For the Hprt gene, the Hprt(b) allele was...
