Abstract excerpt
Imprinted genes have important effects on the regulation of fetal growth, development, and postnatal behavior. However, the study of imprinted genes has been limited in mammalian species other than human and mouse. Therefore, the study of porcine imprinted genes is useful for defining the extent of conservation of genomic imprinting among different species. In this study, the imprinting status of porcine NDN,...
