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 ...

In the last few years, the importance of genomic imprinting as a basic biological phenomenon has become clear. Work from different areas has demonstrated that parent-of-origin differences in phenotype occur on a regular basis. This article summarizes some of the recent advances made in this field.

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.

Genomic Imprinting in the New Omics Era: A Model for Systems-Level Approaches
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.

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 ...

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.

The catalytic core of DEMETER guides active DNA demethylation in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
The Arabidopsis DEMETER (DME) DNA glycosylase demethylates the maternal genome in the central cell prior to fertilization and is essential for seed viability.

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.

New mutations at the imprinted Gnas cluster show gene dosage effects of Gsα in postnatal growth and implicate XLαs in bone and fat metabolism, but not in suckling [PDF]
The imprinted Gnas cluster is involved in obesity, energy metabolism, feeding behavior, and viability. Relative contribution of paternally expressed proteins XLαs, XLN1, and ALEX or a double dose of maternally expressed Gsα to phenotype has not been ...
