Effects of reprogramming on genomic imprinting and the application of pluripotent stem cells
Pluripotent stem cells are considered to be the ideal candidates for cell-based therapies in humans. In this regard, both nuclear transfer embryonic stem (ntES) cells and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are particularly advantageous because patient ...

Retinoblastoma makes its mark on imprinting in plants [PDF]
Genomic imprinting results in the preferential expression of alleles from either the maternal or paternal chromosomes. This epigenetic process occurs in embryonic and extra-embryonic (placental) tissues of mammals, but only in the extra-embryonic ...

Cynomolgus-rhesus hybrid macaques serve as a platform for imprinting studies
Genomic imprinting can lead to allele-specific expression (ASE), where one allele is preferentially expressed more than the other. Perturbations in genomic imprinting or ASE genes have been widely observed across various neurological disorders, notably ...

Tissue-specific and minor inter-individual variation in imprinting of IGF2R is a common feature of Bos taurus concepti and not correlated with fetal weight [PDF]
The insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (IGF2R) is essential for prenatal growth regulation and shows gene dosage effects on fetal weight that can be affected by in-vitro embryo culture.

Identification of imprinted genes subject to parent-of-origin specific expression in Arabidopsis thaliana seeds [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Epigenetic regulation of gene dosage by genomic imprinting of some autosomal genes facilitates normal reproductive development in both mammals and flowering plants.

Genomic Imprinting Absent in Drosophila melanogaster Adult Females
Genomic imprinting occurs when expression of an allele differs based on the sex of the parent that transmitted the allele. In D. melanogaster, imprinting can occur, but its impact on allelic expression genome-wide is unclear.

Paternally expressed imprinted genes under positive Darwinian selection in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon where autosomal genes display uniparental expression depending on whether they are maternally or paternally inherited.

Genomic imprinting effects on complex traits in domesticated animal species
Monoallelically expressed genes that exert their phenotypic effect in a parent-of-origin specific manner are considered to be subject to genomic imprinting, the most well understood form of epigenetic regulation of gene expression in mammals.

Genomic imprinting is a phenomenon characterized by parent-of-origin-specific gene expression. While widely documented in viviparous mammals and plants, imprinting in oviparous birds remains controversial.
