Imprinted Genes and Imprinting Control Regions Show Predominant Intermediate Methylation in Adult Somatic Tissues
23 Mar 2016
Abstract excerpt
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic feature characterized by parent-specific monoallelic gene expression. The aim of this study was to compare the DNA methylation status of imprinted genes and imprinting control regions (ICRs), harboring differentially methylated regions (DMRs) in a comprehensive panel of 18 somatic tissues. The germline DMRs analyzed were divided into ubiquitously imprinted and placenta-specific...
