Mouse <i>Peg9/Dlk1</i> and human <i>PEG9/DLK1</i> are paternally expressed imprinted genes closely located to the maternally expressed imprinted genes: mouse <i>Meg3/Gtl2</i> and human <i>MEG3</i>

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genomic imprinting significantly influences development, growth and behaviour in mammals. Systematic screening of imprinted genes has been extensively carried out to identify the genes responsible for imprinted phenotypes and to elucidate the biological significance of this phenomenon. In this study, we applied DNA chip technology for isolating paternally expressed imprinted genes (Pegs). We compared...
