Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic marks at cis acting imprinting control regions (ICRs) regulate parent of origin-specific expression of multiple genes in imprinted gene clusters. Epigenetic marks are acquired during gametogenesis and maintained faithfully thereafter. However, the mechanism by which differential epigenetic marks are established and maintained at ICRs is currently unclear. By using Kcnq1 ICR as a model system, we have...
