Retrotransposon silencing by DNA methylation can drive mammalian genomic imprinting. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2007 Among mammals, only eutherians and marsupials are viviparous and have genomic imprinting that leads to parent-of-origin-specific differential gene expression. We used comparative analysis to investigate the origin of genomic imprinting in mammals. PEG10 (

Livestock species as emerging models for genomic imprinting [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyGenomic imprinting is an epigenetically-regulated process of central importance in mammalian development and evolution. It involves multiple levels of regulation, with spatio-temporal heterogeneity, leading to the context-dependent and parent-of-origin ...

Aberrations of Genomic Imprinting in Glioblastoma Formation [PDF]
Frontiers in Oncology, 2021 In human glioblastoma (GBM), the presence of a small population of cells with stem cell characteristics, the glioma stem cells (GSCs), has been described. These cells have GBM potential and are responsible for the origin of the tumors.

Evolutionary lineage-specific genomic imprinting at the ZNF791 locus. [PDF]
PLoS GeneticsGenomic imprinting is an epigenetic process that results in parent-of-origin effects on mammalian development and growth. Research on genomic imprinting in domesticated animals has lagged due to a primary focus on orthologs of mouse and human imprinted ...

Genomic Imprinting in the New Omics Era: A Model for Systems-Level Approaches [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Genomic imprinting represents a noteworthy inheritance mechanism leading to allele-specific regulations dependent of the parental origin. Imprinted loci are especially involved in essential mammalian functions related to growth, development and behavior.
