Abstract excerpt
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic mechanism that results in allele-specific expression (ASE) based on the parent of origin. It is known to play a role in the prenatal and postnatal allocation of maternal resources in mammals. ASE detected by whole transcriptome RNA-seq (wht-RNAseq) has been widely used to analyze imprinted genes using reciprocal crosses in mice to generate large numbers of informative SNPs....
