Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of genomic imprinting remain poorly understood. In one instance, a differentially methylated imprinting control region (ICR) at the H19 locus has been shown to involve a methylation-sensitive chromatin insulator function that apparently partitions the neighboring Igf2 and H19 genes in different expression domains in a parent of origin-dependent manner. It is not known,...
