Abstract excerpt
Genetic analysis has shown that the distal portion of mouse chromosome 12 is imprinted; however, the developmental roles of imprinted genes in this region are not known. We have therefore generated conceptuses with uniparental disomy for chromosome 12, in which both copies of chromosome 12 are either paternally or maternally derived (pUPD12 and mUPD12, respectively). Both types of UPD12 result in embryos that are...
