Natural epigenetic polymorphisms lead to intraspecific variation in Arabidopsis gene imprinting

open access: yeseLife, 2014
Imprinted gene expression occurs during seed development in plants and is associated with differential DNA methylation of parental alleles, particularly at proximal transposable elements (TEs).

Imprinting as Basis for Complex Evolutionary Novelties in Eutherians

open access: yesBiology
The epigenetic phenomenon of genomic imprinting is puzzling. While epigenetic modifications in general are widely known in most species, genomic imprinting in the animal kingdom is restricted to autosomes of therian mammals, mainly eutherians, and to a ...

MAP7D2 is a brain expressing X-linked maternal imprinted gene in humans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Increasing evidence suggests imprinted genes influence mouse and human behaviors and cognitive functions. Unlike autosomal imprinted genes, X-linked imprinted genes are expressed in a sex-dependent manner because of male hemizygosity.

Effects of Methyl Cycle Substrate Availability on Epigenetic Stability of Human Embryonic Stem Cells [PDF]

open access: yes
A link has been hypothesised to occur between suboptimal maternal nutrition and impaired foetal development leading to a predisposition to a range of adult pathologies.
