A Mechanistic View of Genomic Imprinting
1 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
Genomic imprinting results in the expression of genes in a parent-of-origin-dependent manner. The mechanism and developmental consequences of genomic imprinting are most well characterized in mammals, plants, and certain insect species (e.g., sciarid flies and coccid insects). However, researchers have observed imprinting phenomena in species in which imprinting of endogenous genes is not known to exist or to be...
