Abstract excerpt
Imprinted genes play significant roles in the regulation of fetal growth and development, function of the placenta, and maternal nurturing behaviour in mammals. At present, few imprinted genes have been reported in pigs compared to human and mouse. In order to increase understanding of imprinted genes in swine, a polymorphism-based approach was used to assess the imprinting status of three porcine genes in 12...
