Abstract excerpt
Genomic imprinting brings about allele-specific silencing according to parental origin. Silencing is controlled by cis-acting regulatory regions that are differentially marked during gametogenesis and can act over hundreds of kilobases to silence many genes. Two candidate imprinting control regions (ICRs) have been identified at the compact imprinted Gnas cluster on distal mouse chromosome 2, one at exon 1A...
