Transgenic RNAi Reveals Essential Function for CTCF in <i>H19</i> Gene Imprinting
9 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
The imprinted regulation of H19 and Insulin-like growth factor 2 expression involves binding of the vertebrate insulator protein, CCCTC binding factor (CTCF), to the maternally hypomethylated differentially methylated domain (DMD). How this hypomethylated state is maintained during oogenesis and the role of CTCF, if any, in this process are not understood. With the use of a transgenic RNA interference...
