Is it genomic imprinting or preferential expression?

Abstract excerpt

Imprinted genes are monoallelically expressed in a parent-of-origin-specific manner, but for many genes reported to be imprinted, the occurrence of preferential expression--where both alleles are expressed but one is expressed more strongly than the other in a parent-of-origin-specific way--has been reported. This preferential expression found in genes described as imprinted has not been thoroughly addressed in...
