Abstract excerpt
Although the majority of genes are expressed equally from both alleles, some genes are differentially expressed. Monoallelic gene expression, the differential gene expression of the alleles such as genomic imprinting, is reported in several organisms and plays significant roles in proper development and diversity in gene expression and phenotypic variation. Recent studies in flowering plants have greatly...
