Abstract excerpt
Genomic imprinting allows parent-of-origin specific control over gene expression. Although imprinted genes (or entire chromosomes) are homologous sequences that can be inherited from either parent, they are differentially marked by a heritable epigenetic modification (imprint), which can condition their behavior in term of gene expression. Imprinting-based regulation of entire chromosomes is observed in both...
