Abstract excerpt
Genomic imprinting is often associated with allele-specific epigenetic modifications. Although many reports suggested potential roles of DNA methylation and H3K27me3 in regulating genomic imprinting, the contributions of allele-specific active histone modifications to imprinting remain still unclear in plants. Here, we report the identification of 337 high-stringency allele-specific H3K4me3 and H3K36me3 peaks in...
