Abstract excerpt
The parental origin of chromosomes is critical for normal development in the mouse because some genes are imprinted resulting in a predetermined preferential expression of one of the alleles. Duplication of the paternal (AG: androgenones) or maternal (GG/PG: gynogenones/parthenogenones) genomes will result in an excess or deficiency of gene dosage with corresponding phenotypic effects. Here, we report on the...
