Abstract excerpt
Parent-of-origin effects create differences in gene expression among genetically identical individuals. Using measurements of allele-specific expression, we demonstrate that previously reported parent-of-origin effects on standing mRNA levels in Drosophila melanogaster are not attributable to genomic imprinting. Offspring from reciprocal crosses exhibit differences in total expression without differences in...
