Parent-of-origin effects cause genetic variation in pig performance traits
Animal, 2010 In order to assess the relative importance of genomic imprinting for the genetic variation of traits economically relevant for pork production, a data set containing 21 209 records from Large White pigs was analysed.

Placental imprinting: Emerging mechanisms and functions.
PLoS Genetics, 2020 As the maternal-foetal interface, the placenta is essential for the establishment and progression of healthy pregnancy, regulating both foetal growth and maternal adaptation to pregnancy.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 In viviparous mammals, genomic imprinting regulates parent-of-origin-specific monoallelic expression of paternally and maternally expressed imprinted genes (PEGs and MEGs) in a region-specific manner.

Genomic Imprinting in Mammals [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2014 Genomic imprinting affects a subset of genes in mammals and results in a monoallelic, parental-specific expression pattern. Most of these genes are located in clusters that are regulated through the use of insulators or long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). To distinguish the parental alleles, imprinted genes are epigenetically marked in gametes at imprinting

Imprinting and its disorders in evolutionary perspective
Acta Medica Lituanica, 2014 Bacground. Genomic imprinting is one of the best-studied epigenetic phenomena involving all the main epigenetic processes. Recent investigations led to a huge expansion of knowledge in this field and changed some established paradigms regarding ...

Zfp57 mutant ES cell lines directly derived from blastocysts
Stem Cell Research, 2016 Zfp57 is a master regulator of genomic imprinting in mouse embryos. To further test its functions, we have derived multiple Zfp57 mutant ES clones directly from mouse blastocysts.

Genomic imprinting in diabetes [PDF]
Genome Medicine, 2010 Genomic imprinting refers to a class of transmissible genetic effects in which the expression of the phenotype in the offspring depends on the parental origin of the transmitted allele. The DNA from one parent may be epigenetically modified so that only a single allele of the imprinted gene is expressed in the offspring.

Technical advances contribute to the study of genomic imprinting.
PLoS Genetics, 2019 Genomic imprinting in mammals was discovered over 30 years ago through elegant embryological and genetic experiments in mice. Imprinted genes show a monoallelic and parent of origin-specific expression pattern; the development of techniques that can ...
