Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic and genetic cis-regulatory elements in diploid organisms may cause allele specific expression (ASE) - unequal expression of the two chromosomal gene copies. Genomic imprinting is an intriguing type of ASE in which some genes are expressed monoallelically from either the paternal allele or maternal allele as a result of epigenetic modifications. Imprinted genes have been identified in several animal...
