Bovine DNA Methylation Imprints Are Established in an Oocyte Size-Specific Manner, Which Are Coordinated with the Expression of the DNMT3 Family Proteins1
17 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
A subset of genes, known as imprinted genes, is present in the mammalian genome. Genomic imprinting governs the monoallelic expression of these genes, depending on whether the gene was inherited from the sperm or the egg. This parent-of-origin specific gene expression is generally dependent on the epigenetic modification, DNA methylation, and the DNA methylation status of CpG dinucleotides residing in loci known...
