Abstract excerpt
Genomic imprinting refers to the parental allele-specific expression of genes. The precise mechanism underlying this phenomenon, which may involve DNA methylation, is not yet known. U2af1-rs1(SP2) is an imprinted gene expressed from the paternal allele and is methylated on the maternal allele. He...
