Abstract excerpt
Differentially methylated sequences associated with imprinted genes are proposed to control genomic imprinting. A 2-kb region located 5' to the imprinted mouse H19 gene is hypermethylated on the inactive paternal allele throughout development. To determine whether this differentially methylated domain (DMD) is required for imprinted expression at the endogenous locus, we have generated mice harboring a 1.6-kb...
