Genome-wide mapping of imprinted differentially methylated regions by DNA methylation profiling of human placentas from triploidies
13 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genomic imprinting is an important epigenetic process involved in regulating placental and foetal growth. Imprinted genes are typically associated with differentially methylated regions (DMRs) whereby one of the two alleles is DNA methylated depending on the parent of origin. Identifying imprinted DMRs in humans is complicated by species- and tissue-specific differences in imprinting status and the...
