Abstract excerpt
The imprinted Kcnq1 domain contains a differentially methylated region (KvDMR) in intron 11 of Kcnq1. The Kcnq1ot1 non-coding RNA emerges from the unmethylated paternal KvDMR in antisense direction, resulting in cis-repression of neighboring genes. The KvDMR encompasses the Kcnq1ot1 promoter, CTCF sites and other DNA elements, whose individual contribution to regulation of the endogenous domain is unknown. We...
