Abstract excerpt
Parent-of-origin effects, also known as genomic imprinting, exist for many mammalian genes. For imprinted genes the expression of an allele depends upon the sex of the transmitting parent. Here we have developed a method based on alleles that are shared identical by descent by affected sib pairs, that allows for parent-of-origin effects. Our method allows for sex-specific recombination rates, an important...
