Abstract excerpt
A review of the data on the mechanisms and effects of genomic imprinting, an epigenetic phenomenon regulating the development in placentate mammals, is presented. In contrast to the majority of gene loci with biallelic expression, the expression of imprinted loci is monoallelic. In humans and mice, more than 300 imprinted loci have been identified, in which maternal or paternal alleles may either be expressed or...
