Mechanisms of genomic imprinting.

Abstract excerpt

A small number of mammalian genes undergo the process of genomic imprinting whereby the expression level of the alleles of a gene depends upon their parental origin. In the past year, attention has focused on the mechanisms that determine parental-specific expression patterns. Many imprinted genes are located in conserved clusters and, although it is apparent that imprinting of adjacent genes is jointly...
