Abstract excerpt
Imprinted genes play vital roles in the placental development and fetal growth in eutherian mammals. DCN (decorin), PON2 (paraoxonase 2) and PEG3 (paternally expressed 3) genes have been identified as imprinted genes in the mouse. Here, we detected the imprinting status of three genes in the porcine placenta on DG90 (day 90 of gestation) and the expression differences in Yorkshire and Meishan placenta on DG26,...
