Abstract excerpt
Imprinting of the linked and oppositely expressed mouse H19 and Igf2 genes requires a 2-kb differentially methylated domain (DMD) that is located 2 kb upstream of H19. This element is postulated to function as a methylation-sensitive insulator. Here we test whether an additional sequence 5' of H19 is required for H19 and Igf2 imprinting. Because repetitive elements have been suggested to be important for genomic...
