Abstract excerpt
Delta-like 1 homolog (Dlk1) is a paternally expressed imprinted gene in mammals, regulating development and differentiation of adipose and muscle. The Dlk1 genes of the quail and turkey were cloned and analyzed in their properties of amino acid sequences, alternative splicing, and genetic distances from other species. In addition, because Dlk1 is located in the cluster of up to 10 imprinted genes in mammals, the...
