A Randomly Integrated Transgenic <i>H19</i> Imprinting Control Region Acquires Methylation Imprinting Independently of Its Establishment in Germ Cells
23 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
The imprinted expression of the mouse Igf2/H19 locus is governed by the differential methylation of the imprinting control region (ICR), which is established initially in germ cells and subsequently maintained in somatic cells, depending on its parental origin. By grafting a 2.9-kbp H19 ICR fragment into a human beta-globin yeast artificial chromosome in transgenic mice, we previously showed that the ICR could...
