Abstract excerpt
The H19 imprinted gene locus is regulated by an upstream 2 kb imprinting control region (ICR) that influences allele-specific expression, DNA methylation, and replication timing. This ICR becomes de novo methylated during late spermatogenesis in the male but emerges from oogenesis in an unmethylated form, and this allele-specific pattern is then maintained throughout early development and in all tissues of the...
