Abstract excerpt
Imprinted genes are expressed monoallelically depending on their parental origin, and play important roles in embryo survival and postnatal growth regulation. In this study, we characterized the porcine NECD (necdin), SNRPN (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide N) and UBE3A (UBE3A ubiquitin protein ligase E3A) genes, analyzed their expression in nine tissues including liver, lung, small intestine, skeletal...
