Abstract excerpt
Parent-of-origin-dependent gene expression of a few hundred human genes is achieved by differential DNA methylation of both parental alleles. This imprinting is required for normal development, and defects in this process lead to human disease. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) serve as a valuable tool for in vitro disease modeling. However, a wave of de novo DNA methylation during reprogramming of iPSCs...
