DNA methylation is a key mechanism for maintaining monoallelic expression on autosomes
2020-02-21
Abstract excerpt
In diploid cells, maternal and paternal copies of genes usually have similar transcriptional activity. Mammalian allele-specific epigenetic mechanisms such as X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) and imprinting were historically viewed as rare exceptions to this rule. The discovery of mitotically stable monoallelic autosomal expression (MAE) a decade ago revealed an additional allele-specific mode regulating thousands...
