Abstract excerpt
Silencing of the paternal allele of three imprinted genes (Igf2r, Slc22a2 and Slc22a3) requires cis expression of the Air RNA that overlaps the promoter of one of them (Igf2r). Air is a non-coding RNA whose mode of action is unknown. We tested the role of the Igf2r promoter and the role of transcriptional overlap between Igf2r and Air in silencing in this cluster. We analyzed imprinted expression in mice in which...
