Endogenous retroviral insertions drive non-canonical imprinting in extra-embryonic tissues
29 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon that allows a subset of genes to be expressed mono-allelically based on the parent of origin and is typically regulated by differential DNA methylation inherited from gametes. Imprinting is pervasive in murine extra-embryonic lineages, and uniquely, the imprinting of several genes has been found to be conferred non-canonically through maternally inherited...
