Evolution and gene regulation of the genomic imprinting mechanism

2008-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Genomic imprinting describes an epigenetic mechanism by which genes are active or silent depending on their parental origin. Imprinting exists in plants and mammals, but how this monoallelic expression mechanism has evolved is not understood at the molecular level. Here I describe the mapping, sequencing and analysis of vertebrate orthologous imprinted regions spanning 11.5 Mb of genomic sequence from species with...
