Genomic Imprinting as a Mechanism of Reproductive Isolation in Mammals

2007-02-20

Abstract excerpt

Many traits exhibit nonequivalent effects upon maternal versus paternal inheritance. Such “parent-of-origin” effects may be caused by several mechanisms including sex chromosomes and maternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA. Recently, a class of mammalian autosomal genes has emerged that shows expression of only 1 parental allele. This phenomenon has been termed “genomic imprinting.” Genomic imprinting is an epig...
