1 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
Genomic imprinting is the phenomenon whereby mono-allelic expression of certain genes occurs depending on their parental origin. The observation that imprinting only occurs in placental mammals has led to the suggestion that it may play a role in this form of reproduction.
